Your best bet would be one of the following:

- set a couple variables somewhere for each script run that they can use 
to retrieve the IP and integer
- set up the ARGV array so it has the command-line parameters you want 
to pass through

There are also other ways to pass data into a scripting engine through 
JSR223 that I won't list here, but google for them and you'll find some 
good examples.
