Hi If you use a dhclient on the Internet interface, what is the best method to get the currently used IP address? A regexp to get the IP from "ifconfig <if> inet” output or check the dhclient lease file? Or maybe use python with of http://pypi.python.org/pypi/netifaces/ or perl with Net::Address::IP::Local;
Or is there any known command (like sysctl for example) for it already in the OS that I am not yet aware of? Thanks Peo
