I'm trying to do the same thing. What I want to do, is in a shell script
that I'll eventually add to /etc/rc.d/init.d is to get the IP address of
the local machine. Now, of course the machine can have multiple
interfaces, so just looking at the output of ifconfig doesn't help a lot.
What I want to do is look up the name of the machine, then look in
/etc/hosts for the corresponding IP address.
There really should be standard function in /etc/rc.d/init.d or
something similar.
