Well Sandeep, I know what you are saying,
I want to know whether this ip adress is stored anywhere in /proc system, so that I can at regular intervals poll this file for changed info and save the info in flash. because the embedded system on which we are working and (further developing) is based on RH 7.2 but does not have any directory structure as /etc/sysconfig. and I have to store the IP address into flash, so that when the system comes up it takes up that IP address. And I modify code of ifconfig so that whenever it is setting an ip address it puts that ip address to the file I specify.
