Hi all,
After looking at the solutions offered from my question, I've hacked
up a script to easily flick me between networks. I run this after
booting as root, before I start X or anything like that.
It assumes that you have two of every config file that you need, named
.LOCATION_NAME
Eg,
/etc/rc.conf.home and /etc/rc.conf.work
/etc/X11/XF86Config.home and /etc/X11/XF86Config.work
You get the picture. You call the script
./location.sh LOCATION_NAME (eg home or work). To change locations,
just edit the LOCATION variable and the case names inside the case
statement.
I hope that someone will find this script useful.
--location.sh--
#!/bin/bash
# Check to see that we were called with a location
case $1 in
home)
LOCATION='home'
;;
work)
LOCATION='work'
;;
*)
echo "Usage: location.sh [home|work]"
exit
;;
esac
# copy the appropriate rc.conf into place, and suck
# the values in
cp /etc/rc.conf.$LOCATION /etc/rc.conf
. /etc/rc.conf
# Setup the new networking
echo -n "Setting up networking... "
CURRENT_GW=`netstat -rn | grep default | cut -c20-34`
ifconfig fxp0 $ifconfig_fxp0
hostname $hostname
route delete 0.0.0.0 $CURRENT_GW >> /dev/null
route add 0.0.0.0 $defaultrouter >> /dev/null
echo "Done!"
# Copy other config files into place and restart services
echo -n "Copying config files in place... "
cp /etc/X11/XF86Config.$LOCATION /etc/X11/XF86Config
cp /usr/local/etc/exim/configure.$LOCATION
/usr/local/etc/exim/configure
echo "Done!"
# Restart any services that need restarting
echo "Restarting services... "
(/usr/local/etc/rc.d/exim.sh stop && /usr/local/etc/rc.d/exim.sh start) \
> /dev/null &&
echo -n " exim"
echo
--end script--
