Bit Twister: Is this the dhclient-exit-hooks you were talking about?

Hey Bit Twister,

I went looking at the google search you sent me on and found this script,
is this what you were suggesting that I run for my computer and if so,
where can I get a good copy of it without line wrap issues that may be
apparent from copying it from a google search?

I want my hostname to be ohmster.com so will this script not allow me to
do that? Where can I instert my wgets call to bring up my wgets text file
to update my domain IP addresses?

What is this script for, where did it come from?
