SwitchHost

Switch IP adresses easily in hosts file. Useful when your VM changes IP address when you change location for instance.

Requirements

None, it's just a plain shell script to execute.

Usage

• Edit the list of "locations" and "IP addresses" in the switchhost.sh file

• Make a copy of hosts-template-example and rename it hosts-template (Keep hosts-template and switchhost.sh in the same folder)

• List the hosts you want to be dynamic in the hosts-template file

• Change the value of the variable hostpath in switchhost.sh if your hosts file is not located in /etc

• Set permissions on the script : chmod u+x switchhost.sh

• Execute the script and select your location :

  sudo ./switchhost
