who can show my one simple script to get my current login IP?

[Michael Creutz]

I use:

echo $SSH_CLIENT | cut -d " " -f 1

[Jared Middleton]

echo $HOSTNAME works for me too on Red Hat 7.3 Professional, connected via CRT Telnet.

$ uname -a
Linux 2.4.20-20.7bigmem #1 SMP Mon Aug 18 14:34:37 EDT 2003 i686 unknown

[Jared Middleton]

nuts, sorry about the typo. Of course, I meant "echo $REMOTEHOST" works for me.

[Ross Minkov]

I have the following in my .bash_profile. This returns hostname:0.0.

predis=`/usr/bin/who -m --lookup | /bin/grep "(" | /bin/sed "s/^.*(\(.*\))/\1:0.0/" | /bin/cut -d: -f1,2`
if [ "$predis" != "" ]; then
echo "Setting DISPLAY to $predis"
DISPLAY=$predis
export DISPLAY
fi

If you want it to return IP you can try adding something like this:

ipa=`/usr/bin/host $predis /bin/cut -d" " -f4`

and remove the :0.0 part at the end...

HTH,
Ross

I was connecting through telnet. I relize now that ssh didn't set the REMOTEHOST variable. It gives SSH_CLIENT and SSH_CONNECTION.

ciao,
