If you mean that an interface changes IP or goes down, I suggest scripting something that takes place in that event, such as a pppd ip-up or ip-down script or the DHCP client equivalents. If you're talking about a remote IP changing or something similar, no, you will have to write your own script, perhaps run it as a cron job. IAC you should be more specific about the problem you are trying to solve. -- mail to this address is discarded unless "/dev/rob0" or "not-spam" is in Subject: header
