Bob:
A "Chris Dowling" was kind enough to share this for some other subscriber to
this list. I have been looking for a script of this sort for a while as what
I had been doing before was getting cron to e-mail me every hour so I know
the IP address of network server on a dynamic dialup ISP. His script does
not use cut but I bet cut could be utilized in some way here to achieve what
you need. Here is the script:
ifconfig ppp0 | grep 'inet addr' | awk -F: '{ print $2 } ' | awk '{ print
$1 } ' | mail -s 'ip address' [EMAIL PROTECTED]
