I have an adsl connection that uses a dynamic IP from my ISP. I use the
adsl-status script to find out what my IP is at any time.
What I want to do is parse the response I get from adsl-status to
isolate my IP. Here is the output of the adsl-status script:
adsl-status: Link is up and running on interface ppp0
ppp0 Link encap:Point-to-Point Protocol
inet addr:151.196.10.63 P-t-P:10.4.25.1 Mask:255.255.255.255
UP POINTOPOINT RUNNING NOARP MULTICAST MTU:1492 Metric:1
RX packets:1962 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:1987 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:3
RX bytes:1600510 (1.5 Mb) TX bytes:362634 (354.1 Kb)
I figured that by using this command: adsl-status | grep -o
addr:['0'-'9']
Or some combination thereof, I would be able to get the full IP
isolated. I realize that the problem is that an IP can have from 1-3
digits between each dot, and this screws up my regexp. Can anyone
suggest a web site or some sort of regexp that better suits this
pursuit?
The purpose of this is to parse out my IP address and write it into a
'header(Location:http://)' command in an index.php script that will be
automatically ftp'd to another web server to simulate a bound domain
name for my dynamic IP web site. I got the site and the redirect
working, I just want the site to be able to remain up if there is an
unattended reboot. Obviously I will put all necessary scripting in an
init file to handle the IP parsing and ftp to allow the site to remain
accessible to all.
Thanks guys!
