| Discussion: *nix users who wish to remotly update their ip should download the remote update perl script. The script requires that you have Perl 5.6.0 or higher installed and requires the following modules (SOAP::Lite, LPW). Simply configure the script and run it to update your ip. If you desire to have it run automatically, you can add it as a task to your crontab (this works in OS X too).
Crontabs are easy to setup, here is an example that would run the update script every hour.
crontab -e
(Now you are in an editor)
01 * * * * perl /Path to script/updateip s
(Now save the file)
Crontabs are setup like this (minute hour day month weekday command). For more on cronjobs see the TechTurorials Cron tutorial.
