Probably the safest thing you can do is give the interface two IPs at |
| 23 |
once (both the old address and the new address) until you can confirm |
| 24 |
you can connect on the new IP, and then remove the old IP. |

Also, rather than using at to handle things like that, I like to use |
| 27 |
screen; if I get disconnected, programs running inside the screen |
| 28 |
session don't die...and there's no waiting for a scheduled job. |
