AW: how to get IP with a shell command?


To set the environment variable DISPLAY for XFree I use the
following command

export DISPLAY=`\
    ipconfig | grep 'IP-Adresse' | \
    sed 's/\(.*: \)\([0-9][0-9]*\.[0-9]*\.[0-9]*\.[0-9]*\)\(.*\)/\2/g'`:0.0

'IP-Adresse' must be replaced with the proper version according 
to you language.

I can think of a few ways, but all of them involve either non-cygwin
programs or writing your own.  The simplest (on Win2k) is to parse the
output of either "nslookup `hostname`" or "ipconfig".  I'm also sure
there's a programmatic way to do this -- and if you do figure this one
out, please consider submitting a patch for "hostname" (which is part of
the sh-utils package) to implement the "-i" option.
