In the example, I used the left 3 digits of my IP number. Use sed or awk to scrape off the crud that wget will spew out along with the IP number. 2) why not just use /sbin/ifconfig -a? Your machine knows its own IP number as well or better than getip.com. 3) why not man curl? That is, read the man page of the command you are asking about. You don't sound like you've even tried to do your homework. Dave -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
