Another way, but I think that is better, because in your way, it will give you your local IP, like 192.168.0.101…
you need to have “links2″ already intalled
#!/bin/sh
IP_ACTUAL=`links2 -dump http://www.whatismyip.com | grep “Your IP ” | awk ‘{ print $5 }’`
echo $IP_ACTUAL
And also it doesn’t work in Ubuntu 8.04 in another languages, like spanish
If one must parse ifconfig what about:
ifconfig | egrep -o '([0-9]{1,3}\.){3}[0-9]{1,3}’ | egrep -v ‘255|(127\.[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3})’
I think I would like that more then cutting with awk or cut. Also I don’t think it matters what *nix system you are running ifconfig on.
Also in the above example grep -v ‘127.0.0.1′ the periods are not literal since they are not escaped, but rather they match any character.

You should replace “ifconfig” with “/sbin/ifconfig” normaly /sbin isn’t in $PATH.
/sbin/ifconfig eth0 | awk ‘/inet/ {print $2}’ | sed ’s/addr://’
