[asterisk-users] Script to automatically update externip. Useful for a host with dynamic public IP

Mon Feb 6 21:35:10 CST 2012

To me it would be simpler to use externhost instead of externip and then use a dynamic DNS service.  It has worked flawlessly for me for many years.

Regards
David.

You could also do something like:

  sed -i -e "s/^externip *=.*/externip = $EXTERNIP/"
    /etc/asterisk/sip.conf

Apologies for the wrapped code.
