	Here's what I do:

extint="eth0"
extip="`/sbin/ifconfig $extint | grep 'inet addr' | awk '{print $2}' | sed
-e 's/.*://'`"
extmask="`/sbin/ifconfig $extint | grep 'inet addr' | awk '{print $4}' | sed
-e 's/.*://'`"
extbcast="`/sbin/ifconfig $extint | grep 'inet addr' | awk '{print $3}' |
sed -e 's/.*://'`"
extnet="${extip}/${extmask}"

Subject: [SLE] Getting the IP of ppp0


Hi

After changing ISPs I no longer get a static IP so I want to be able to
somehow get the IP of ppp0 and use it in my custom firewall script. So far I
have the following:

MYIPADDRESS=`ifconfig | grep P-t-P | awk '{ print $3 }'`

although this puts 'addr:xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx' in the variable MYIPADDRESS. How
can the front 'addr:' be chopped off, or is there an easier way to get just
the IP of the current session?

Many thanks



Andrew
