Ok, since you ask...! What I want to be able to do is to be connected all
the time from home. If I disconnect, then I want to be able to reconnect,
find the current ip-address and mail it to myself. This is because I have
work spread between here and school and I always want access to both
machines. Is this stupid or is there a better way to do this. Of course I
need to read Bash-HOWTO... but that will happen sooner or later :-)
> ifconfig ppp0 | sed -n 's/.*addr:\([^ ]*\).*/\1/gp'
That works bang on spot! Thanks.
Thanks,
