I used to use this:
ifconfig ppp0 | grep "inet " | sed "s/^.*addr:\([0-9.]*\) .*$/\1/" > ipaddress
This worked good, I should mention that i didnt write it... rick did, when
is comes to awk and sed... he da man :)
for filename in `ifconfig ppp0 | grep "inet " | sed "s/^.*addr:\([0-9.]*\) .*$/\1/"`;
do
echo "<a href=http://"${filename}">"Tim's Webserver is Here"</a><br>";
echo "<a href=telnet://"${filename}">"Telnet to Tim's Server"</a><br>";
done;
I used the above code, and a top form, and bottom form to generate a
webpage (named webserver.shtml) then ftp'd it up to EFN using another nice
little script.
#!/bin/bash
# /usr/bin/scripts/announce
PATH=.:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin/scripts; export PATH
host=ftp.efn.org
hostname=`hostname`.efn.org
(
echo "open $host"
echo "user EFNUserName EFNPassword" # NOTE: put your password in here
echo "cd public_html"
echo "lcd /usr/bin/scripts"
echo "put webserver.shtml"
echo "bye"
echo "quit"
) | ftp -n -i -v -d 2>&1 > localtmpfile
I have(or had) all this(and more groovy stuff) in one nice script, but
err... i cant seem to find it right now :(
