Description-en: Automatically reconfigure your (laptop) system for a new location
whereami is a set of useful scripts and a coordinating system for
automatically re-locating your computer within the current (network)
environment.
.
Typically, you would use whereami to automatically detect and
re-configure your laptop when you move between a variety of diverse
networks and/or docking environments.
.
Although whereami will work best if all of your networks assign
addresses through dhcp, this is not a pre-requisite and the system
allows any technique to be used to ascertain the new location with
as little ongoing user intervention as possible.
.
Having ascertained the correct location, whereami will run appropriate
(user-configured) scripts to adjust the laptop operation to suit the
current environment.
.
See the man pages for more information. You may also get useful
assistance from the debian-laptop mailing list, which is
frequented by several of the users and contributors.
