I need my eth0 IP address in a shell variable. I don't see an easy solution. Anybody's idea ? Thanks -- Brent Frère 5, rue de Mamer L-8280 Kehlen Grand-Duché de Luxembourg Union Européenne Tél: +352-021/29.05.98 Fax: +352-26.30.05.96 Web: http://BFrere.net

var=`/sbin/ifconfig eth0 | fgrep 'inet addr' | sed 's/.*inet addr:\([0-9.]*\).*/\1/'` (Tested on a Fedora Core 1. It's Possible that on other distros a different regexp is needed) Alain
