Make it executable and run:

An IP script is simply a small program (Bash, batch, or Python) that automates network interface configuration, monitoring, or reporting. Once you start scripting your IP logic, you stop repeating yourself and start scaling your operations.

chmod +x ip-report.sh ./ip-report.sh You can even pipe it to a log file for daily audits. This Bash script checks your public IP every hour and logs changes. Great for dynamic DNS or security monitoring.

#!/usr/bin/env python3 import ipaddress import subprocess import sys network = ipaddress.ip_network("192.168.1.0/24", strict=False)

if [ "$CURRENT_IP" != "$LAST_IP" ]; then echo "$(date) - IP changed from $LAST_IP to $CURRENT_IP" >> "$LOG_FILE" echo "$CURRENT_IP" > "$HOME/last_ip.txt" fi

#!/bin/bash echo "=== IP Address Report ===" ip -br addr show
