Morning Everyone:
I'm stuck on a small problem. I'm trying to parse out the IP address of
my DHCP server for a variable in a script. From the command line, I've
gotten this far:
pump -s | grep "Boot" | cut -f 2
This yields:
Boot server 24.128.1.34
Of course, when I looked at the output of the pump -s command, the only
field I needed the IP address from was this, and, of course, there is no
":" to mark as a delimiter. Notice all of the other fields have it. My
question is, how do I grab the IP address and not the other information?
I'm going to eventually need to assign this to a variable in my ipchains
firewall script, so I'm thinking the correct syntax will be:
variable_name = `pump -s | grep "Boot" | cut -f 2 ...`
Any ideas?
- Mike
