Okay bestie, this is the manual page for airport2-ipinspector from the General Commands Manual 📖🌸

✨ NAME ✨

airport2-ipinspector is a WAN monitoring utility for the Apple AirPort Extreme Base Station ("Snow") 🍓

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

airport2-ipinspector

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Okay so airport2-ipinspector keeps watch over the WAN interface of the base station 👀 Whenever the external (WAN) IP address changes, it sends an email notification so you never miss the update. Main character energy, no cap 💅

👑 OPTIONS 👑

airport2-ipinspector takes no command-line options at all, so there's nothing to pick 🙈

Under the hood it's just a wrapper script around the IPInspector.jar jar file, which lives in /usr/share/java/airport-utils 🧚 The script handles the Java side of things for you.

You can use the JAVACMD environment variable to pick a specific JVM instead of the one the wrapper would choose on its own ✨ And if you set DEBUG to 1, the wrapper spits out its debug output 🔥

🌈 ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES 🌈

  • DEBUG — Set this to 1 and the wrapper script gives you its debug output. Lowkey the best way to see what's going on 🫶
  • JAVACMD — The full path to the Java Virtual Machine you want to use 💜 By default the wrapper uses JAVACMD. If it isn't set, it checks JAVA_BINDIR/java, then JAVA_HOME/bin/java, before falling back to a java executable in the PATH. In that last case, the JVM can be configured through the Debian alternatives system (see update-alternatives(8)) 🦋
  • JAVA_HOME — The full path where your JDK/JRE is installed 🏠
  • JAVA_BINDIR — The full path to the directory where the java executable lives 📂
  • JAVA_ARGS — Extra command-line arguments to pass along to the Java Virtual Machine 🍓
Heads up bestie: the lookup order for JAVACMD matters! Check JAVACMD first, then JAVA_BINDIR/java, then JAVA_HOME/bin/java, and only then the PATH 🙈
