       Make  sure  you  can  write to the current directory for data files and that you always run from the same
       directory.  The first time you run the script, you will be asked to run  with  the  --makedat  option  in
       addition  to  any  other  options.   This  will  create the data files for the hostnames and options your
       specify on the command line.  You should only do this once.  Subsequent runs should be made  without  the
       --makedat option.

       For  help with different options: python ipcheck.py -h For supported devices listing  : python ipcheck.py
       --devices For long detailed help text    : python ipcheck.py --help

       Example 1: the external IP is on eth0 of the current  machine  python  ipcheck.py  -l  -i  eth0  username
       password hostnames

       Example  2:  you  are  using  the Linksys routing device python ipcheck.py -l -L linksyspassword username
       password hostnames

       Example 3: you want to use web based ip detection python ipcheck.py -l -r checkip.dyndns.org:8245 ...

       where ... is your dyndns username password and hostnames.  Hostnames should be comma delimited  if  there
       are more than one.
