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)
Quoting the pppd man page
/etc/ppp/ip-up
A program or script which is executed when the link
is available for sending and receiving IP packets
(that is, IPCP has come up). It is executed with
the parameters
interface-name tty-device speed local-IP-address
remote-IP-address ipparam
So, inside that script, the variable $4 will contain the IP-address you isp
has alotted to you.
Is that what you wanted?
That would make it easy! I tried
echo $4
but it displayed nothing (redhat 8)
Thanks
