Re: [newbie] shell scripts example how to find out dynamically assigned IP address?
Well, I'm trying to find out my dynamically assigned IP address. I got this far: ifconfig ifc grep --context=1 eth1 ifc ifc1 grep "inet addr:" ifc1 ifc2 Now I have to get the IP address from that line I isolated into a variable. Anybody?

Get the output of /sbin/ifconfig for the specific interface, grab just the address line, grab from the colon to the next colon, then trim off the end of the IP address.

Great! Many thanks, For anything shorter, I will need a lot more practice first... Jo Steve Philp wrote: Jo wrote: Well, I'm trying to find out my dynamically assigned IP address.
