I don’t know much about unix, but I could really use some direction. Here’s what I’d like to do:
Is this doable, and where should I go to get this ball rolling? I need to get this script running by tonight.
Thanks guys!
You can achieve your goal by using the two strategies below:
You typically change the IP address of a UNIX machine using a utility such as ifconfig.
Web pages can be programmatically retrieved using utilities such as wget and curl but programmatically executing browser-based JavaScript is a different beast altogether – solutions exist but they seem to be “researchy” as of yet. You might have more luck executing JavaScript hosted on a website by driving Firefox (or another browser) via its automation tool, if one exists (e.g. by a plugin, or a testing tool such as Selenium).
Good luck getting it tonight!
