       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.
