Here's a command that shows your public IP, no matter whether you're behind a router: :)
Code:
wget -q www.whatismyip.com && grep displaycopy index.html|cut -d\' -f2 && rm -f index.html
z0ny
the above scrfipt doesnt seem to work anymore, perhaps because
www.whatismyip.com have changed their code, (looking in index.html tells you to use a different url)
so i modified it slightly so now it reads
Code:
wget -q www.whatismyip.com/automation/n09230945.asp && cat n09230945.asp && rm -f n09230945.asp
which does display the ip but it's badly formatted,
Quote:[anyweb@localhost ~]$ wget -q www.whatismyip.com/automation/n09230945.asp && cat n09230945.asp && rm -f n09230945.asp81.235.240.204[anyweb@localhost ~]$
so who can tidy it up ?
cheers
anyweb
Quote:I updated the command ;)
Not to sound a bit funny but why update the command when mine still works just perfectly? Also you are using the main URL which anyweb has already pointed out doesn't wish automation!
Code:
$ wget -q http://www.whatismyip.com/automation/n09230945.asp -O - && echo
Still works fine!
Ahhh poo, sorry znx I didn't try yours :(
Sorry.
