Such a script wouldn't be all that difficult - personally I wrote up a
couple of them for myself over the years. But I found that the usual
circumstances involving a change of IP, involved alterations to other
information, computer name, subnet, network, domain name, etc. And since
there are a lot of configuration files that have the raw system values
within them - it is necessary to search for the information that I needed to
change, as well as being aware of what affects my changes would have upon
the running status of the system.
