Don't like that - there might be locales, where there's no "inet" in the line. IMO better: /sbin/ifconfig eth0 | grep :255\. | cut -d : -f 2 | cut -d ' ' -f 1 How about that: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ echo `/sbin/ifconfig ra0` | cut -d : -f 8 | cut -d ' ' -f 1 192.168.1.11 Alexander Skwar -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
