You mean like your torrc file? :)
cd /etc/tor
grep -v '^Address' torrc > torrc.in
now every so often:
cd /etc/tor
wget whatismyip.com | grep foo | awk -F bar '{print $x}' > torIP # or what your heart desires to get your IP
if [ "`cat torIP`" != "`cat torIP.running`" ] ; then
(cat torrc.in; echo -n "Address "; cat torIP) > torrc
/etc/init.d/tor reload
cat torIP > torIP.running
fi
You also most likely want reload instead of restart.
Not tested or anything, but it ought to work something like this or
similar.
