Is there an easier/better way for a user to obtain ppp0 ip address than
IP=$(netstat -rn | grep UH | cut -d" " -f1 | head -n 1)
perl -le 'print `/sbin/ifconfig eth0`=~/inet addr:(\S+)/'

John's law :-
All advances in computing have arisen through the creation of an
additional level of indirection, the trick is to work out which
indirection is actually useful.
Thanks John and Adrian
I have tried out your examples and discovered that netstat was
giving the P-t-P address not the inet address.
Perl is on my long list of "Things to look into"
Question how does perl allow me to run ifconfig as a user?
TIA
