Greetings Robert,
I think I'm missing something here. Currently, if the start_url (or
any subsequent link) specifies a numeric URL, then that is what
ht://Dig uses. It seems to work on my system (192.168.0.29). It
also works if I use the start_url as http://tower/ even though
host tower
fails.
What do you suggest the options should control?
If you particularly want to use numeric addresses for non-global IP
addresses, how about something along the lines of
host=`hostname -f`
if host $host | grep 'not found' > /dev/null
then
host=`ping $host | head -1 | sed 's/[^(]*(\([^)]*\)).*/\1/'`
fi
sed "s-start_url:.*-start_url: http://$host/-"; < htdig.conf > Tmp
mv Tmp htdig.conf
I think that should find the appropriate name of the local host -- if
the symbolic name can be found, then it will use that. Otherwise, it
will use the numeric address.
Is that the sort of thing you are after?
Cheers,
Lachlan
