Top Forums UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers passing ip address as a variable to script for ftp Post 82418 by bakunin on Wednesday 31st of August 2005 08:16:08 PM

you can use "who -q <user>" to get the IP-address (i tried that on AIX 5.2) and put that info into your variable.

Sample output of "who -q":
f985905 (130.20.158.93)

Therefore:

HOST="$( who -q | sed 's/.*(\([^)]\).*/\1/' )"

NAME
nwbocreate - Create a NetWare Bindery Object SYNOPSIS
nwbocreate [ -h ] [ -S server ] [ -U user name ] [ -P password | -n ] [ -C ] [ -o object name ] [ -t type ] [ -r read-flag ] [ -w write- flag ] DESCRIPTION
nwbocreate creates the specified NetWare Bindery Object. nwbocreate looks up the file $HOME/.nwclient to find a file server, a user name and possibly a password. See nwclient(5) for more informa- tion. Please note that the access permissions of $HOME/.nwclient MUST be 600 for security reasons. OPTIONS
-h -h is used to print out a short help text. -S server server is the name of the server you want to use. -U user user is the user name to use for login. -P password password is the password to use for login. If neither -n nor -P are given, and the user has no open connection to the server, nwbocreate prompts for a password. -n -n should be given if no password is required for the login. -C By default, passwords are converted to uppercase before they are sent to the server, because most servers require this. You can turn off this conversion by -C. -o object name The name of the object to be created. -t object type The type of the object. Object type must be specified as a decimal value. Common values are 1 for user objects, 2 for group objects and 3 for print queues. Other values are allowed, but are usually used for specialized applications. -r read-flag -w write-flag Read security and write security may each have one of the following values: ANYONE: Anyone may access the object LOGGED: Anyone who is logged in may access the object OBJECT: Anyone who is logged in as the object or SUPERVISOR equivalent may access the object SUPERVISOR: Anyone who is logged in as SUPERVISOR equivalent may access the object NETWARE: Only the Bindery may access the object AUTHORS
nwbocreate was written by Volker Lendecke with the corresponding Caldera utility in mind. See the Changes file of ncpfs for other contribu- tors. nwbocreate 7/9/1996 NWBOCREATE(8)
