Why don't you want to grep the output of ifconfig? Maybe this would suit you: http://www.geekpage.jp/en/programming/linux-network/get-ipaddr.php (Changing eth0 to ppp0 obviously) NB. To get that example to work I had to change the includes as follows: #include <stdio.h> #include <string.h> #include <sys/socket.h> #include <sys/ioctl.h> #include <net/if.h> #include <arpa/inet.h> #include <unistd.h> Nye -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
