There's about 50 different packages that do "where am i" type
functionality,
one package is called, whereami. I'm not sure if there's a popular/

one.
I have used something similar in the past in dhclient up hooks to change
settings on config files. Usually i would have the same config file
with different extensions and copy the right one over the main file and
restart a process if I had to, all in a dhclient up hook script.
ie cp main.cf.home main.cf or cp main.cf.work main.cf etc.
