Easy way to get local IP address
I needed to get a machine's local IP address when not root (so no ifconfig).
Eventually, I arrived at this convoluted solution that grabs the unique local IP info from netstat...
netstat -n -t | awk '{print $4}' | grep -o "[0-9]*\.[0-9]*\.[0-9]*\.[0-9]*" |\
grep -v "127.0.0.1" | sort -u
...however I suspect there is an easier, more robust way of doing this.
Any ideas?
