Hello,

I'm try to sort out a (simple) way of determining the local hosts IP address
(not the 127 address, but the address used by the ethernet card in my case)
on linux and solaris systems. I know that ifconfig shows this, and it can be
grepped but is there a simple command that says what the IP address is (like
hostname gives the hosts name)? I can't think of one and couldn't find one.
If not, then its going to have to be ifconfig|grep.

Thanks,

John.
