There are times when you need your public IP address, that is associated to your Raspberry Pi to do some operations, like check torrent status, access plex or run any other task, that you have enabled port forwarding to in your router's admin panel.
I have used ruby for the scripting part, and am sending the public IP in an email via Google mail.

#
# == What is This Library?
#
# This library provides functionality to send internet
# mail via SMTP, the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol. For details of
# SMTP itself, see [RFC2821] (http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2821.txt).
#
# == What is This Library NOT?
#
# This library does NOT provide functions to compose internet mails.
# You must create them by yourself. If you want better mail support,
# try RubyMail or TMail. You can get both libraries from RAA.
# (http://www.ruby-lang.org/en/raa.html)
#
# FYI: the official documentation on internet mail is: [RFC2822] (http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2822.txt).
#
# == Examples
#
# === Sending Messages
#
# You must open a connection to an SMTP server before sending messages.
# The first argument is the address of your SMTP server, and the second
# argument is the port number. Using SMTP.start with a block is the simplest
# way to do this. This way, the SMTP connection is closed automatically
# after the block is executed.
#
# require 'net/smtp'
# Net::SMTP.start('your.smtp.server', 25) do |smtp|
# # Use the SMTP object smtp only in this block.
# end
#
# Replace 'your.smtp.server' with your SMTP server. Normally
# your system manager or internet provider supplies a server
# for you.
#
# Then you can send messages.
#
# msgstr = <<END_OF_MESSAGE
# From: Your Name <your@mail.address>
# To: Destination Address <someone@example.com>
# Subject: test message
# Date: Sat, 23 Jun 2001 16:26:43 +0900
# Message-Id: <unique.message.id.string@example.com>
#
# This is a test message.
# END_OF_MESSAGE
#
# require 'net/smtp'
# Net::SMTP.start('your.smtp.server', 25) do |smtp|
# smtp.send_message msgstr,
# 'your@mail.address',
# 'his_addess@example.com'
# end
#
# === Closing the Session
#
# You MUST close the SMTP session after sending messages, by calling
# the #finish method:
#
# # using SMTP#finish
# smtp = Net::SMTP.start('your.smtp.server', 25)
# smtp.send_message msgstr, 'from@address', 'to@address'
# smtp.finish
#
# You can also use the block form of SMTP.start/SMTP#start. This closes
# the SMTP session automatically:
#
# # using block form of SMTP.start
# Net::SMTP.start('your.smtp.server', 25) do |smtp|
# smtp.send_message msgstr, 'from@address', 'to@address'
# end
#
# I strongly recommend this scheme. This form is simpler and more robust.
#
# === HELO domain
#
# In almost all situations, you must provide a third argument
# to SMTP.start/SMTP#start. This is the domain name which you are on
# (the host to send mail from). It is called the "HELO domain".
# The SMTP server will judge whether it should send or reject
# the SMTP session by inspecting the HELO domain.
#
# Net::SMTP.start('your.smtp.server', 25,
# 'mail.from.domain') { |smtp| ... }
#
# === SMTP Authentication
#
# The Net::SMTP class supports three authentication schemes;
# PLAIN, LOGIN and CRAM MD5. (SMTP Authentication: [RFC2554])
# To use SMTP authentication, pass extra arguments to
# SMTP.start/SMTP#start.
#
# # PLAIN
# Net::SMTP.start('your.smtp.server', 25, 'mail.from.domain',
# 'Your Account', 'Your Password', :plain)
# # LOGIN
# Net::SMTP.start('your.smtp.server', 25, 'mail.from.domain',
# 'Your Account', 'Your Password', :login)
#
# # CRAM MD5
# Net::SMTP.start('your.smtp.server', 25, 'mail.from.domain',
# 'Your Account', 'Your Password', :cram_md5)
#

# WARNING: This method causes serious security holes.
# Use this method for only debugging.
#
# Set an output stream for debug logging.
# You must call this before #start.

#
# Creates a new Net::SMTP object and connects to the server.
#
# This method is equivalent to:
#
# Net::SMTP.new(address, port).start(helo_domain, account, password, authtype)
#
# === Example
#
# Net::SMTP.start('your.smtp.server') do |smtp|
# smtp.send_message msgstr, 'from@example.com', ['dest@example.com']
# end
#
# === Block Usage
#
# If called with a block, the newly-opened Net::SMTP object is yielded
# to the block, and automatically closed when the block finishes. If called
# without a block, the newly-opened Net::SMTP object is returned to
# the caller, and it is the caller's responsibility to close it when
# finished.
#
# === Parameters
#
# +address+ is the hostname or ip address of your smtp server.
#
# +port+ is the port to connect to; it defaults to port 25.
#
# +helo+ is the _HELO_ _domain_ provided by the client to the
# server (see overview comments); it defaults to 'localhost.localdomain'.
#
# The remaining arguments are used for SMTP authentication, if required
# or desired. +user+ is the account name; +secret+ is your password
# or other authentication token; and +authtype+ is the authentication
# type, one of :plain, :login, or :cram_md5. See the discussion of
# SMTP Authentication in the overview notes.
#
# === Errors
#
# This method may raise:
#
# * Net::SMTPAuthenticationError
# * Net::SMTPServerBusy
# * Net::SMTPSyntaxError
# * Net::SMTPFatalError
# * Net::SMTPUnknownError
# * IOError
# * TimeoutError
#
def SMTP.start(address, port = nil, helo = 'localhost.localdomain',
user = nil, secret = nil, authtype = nil,
&block) # :yield: smtp
new(address, port).start(helo, user, secret, authtype, &block)
end
# +true+ if the SMTP session has been started.
def started?
@started
end
#
# Opens a TCP connection and starts the SMTP session.
#
# === Parameters
#
# +helo+ is the _HELO_ _domain_ that you'll dispatch mails from; see
# the discussion in the overview notes.
#
# If both of +user+ and +secret+ are given, SMTP authentication
# will be attempted using the AUTH command. +authtype+ specifies
# the type of authentication to attempt; it must be one of
# :login, :plain, and :cram_md5. See the notes on SMTP Authentication
# in the overview.
#
# === Block Usage
#
# When this methods is called with a block, the newly-started SMTP
# object is yielded to the block, and automatically closed after
# the block call finishes. Otherwise, it is the caller's
# responsibility to close the session when finished.
#
# === Example
#
# This is very similar to the class method SMTP.start.
#
# require 'net/smtp'
# smtp = Net::SMTP.new('smtp.mail.server', 25)
# smtp.start(helo_domain, account, password, authtype) do |smtp|
# smtp.send_message msgstr, 'from@example.com', ['dest@example.com']
# end
#
# The primary use of this method (as opposed to SMTP.start)
# is probably to set debugging (#set_debug_output) or ESMTP
# (#esmtp=), which must be done before the session is
# started.
#
# === Errors
#
# If session has already been started, an IOError will be raised.
#
# This method may raise:
#
# * Net::SMTPAuthenticationError
# * Net::SMTPServerBusy
# * Net::SMTPSyntaxError
# * Net::SMTPFatalError
# * Net::SMTPUnknownError
# * IOError
# * TimeoutError

@reboot ruby /home/pi/ruby_scripts/gmail.rb
And voila, now every time your PI boots up, you will get a mail from your raspberry pi box.
