Finding Out My Own IP-Address

[TANGUAY, LUC]

I have a bash script to do it (it's called getIPaddress :-)

#!/bin/bash
# Get the IP address of the first LAN adapter.
/winnt/system32/ipconfig | grep "IP Address" | head -1 | sed 's/^.*: //'

Example of its use:

--- start of example ---
#!/bin/bash
export DISPLAY=$($HOME/bin/getIPaddress):0.0
# If network not started, address will be nul.  So correct it.
if [ "$DISPLAY" = "0.0.0.0:0.0" ]
then
	export DISPLAY=localhost:0.0
fi
--- end of example ---

Hope this help, Luc.
