Setting Up a Safety Harness
Changing IP-s is sometimes a risky business. Especially if your server's behind a firewall, in another country, across a great body of water. So here's a little backup strategy to use in case something does go bad:

sudo at now + 1 hour
networksetup -setmanual "Built-in Ethernet" youroldip youroldnetmask youroldrouter
Ctrl -D


That way, if all goes to hell, it should go back to the previous state after an hour. If all goes well, don't forget to

at -l
at -r jobnumber
