Looks like I get to keep my script. http://www.greene-family.org/tony/downloads/getmyip This script: * Outputs the IP address of the specified interface, or * if no interface is specified, output the IP address of the interface that has a default route set, or * if more than one interface has a default route (uncommon, and usually an error) then output an error message and quit.
