Yes.

As another example, my own script for a similar purpose:

--=-=-=
Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=dhclient-exit-hooks
Content-Description: dhclient-exit-hooks

#!/bin/sh

updater_prog = /usr/local/bin/noip2 
if [ x$reason = xREBOOT ]   || 	\
   [ x$old_ip_address = x ] || 	\
   [ x$old_ip_address != x$new_ip_address ]; then
    if [ -x $updater_prog ]; then 
	${updater_prog} -i "$new_ip_address"
    fi
fi
