Replying to Bash Script To Display Your Ip

! /bin/bash

exip=`lynx -dump http://www.Whatismyip.Com | head -and 11`
#Echo "$exip"
curl -o /dev/null -s -u twittername:twitpasswd -d status="$exip" http://twitter.com/statuses/update.xml




Now if you setup a misc twitter account you can send this information to you if you happen to be on the road and need to know the ip to get in.

just insert your new twittername and paswd here and be sure to make those tweets private and then follow with your primary twitter account.


I use this from everything to knowing if root logs in to server powerdown and reboots.......

Very handy.

re: darkkenBash Script To Display Your Ip

darkken: ifconfig gives you your internal IP (ie. The one your router gave you). If you want your network's external IP (ie. The one the internet sees), then the only real way is with external websites.

Why can't you use ifconfig built-in to display the ip address. Simple and works great.

Null password at Freewebs
Bash Script To Display Your Ip

I accidentally pressed Enter key without assigning a new password in my freewebs.Com site. Now they say my password is "null".

Any help available to recover my site?

You could/should also include links instead of lynx. Usually links is installed, for lynx you have to select individual packages, which not everyone does. (I do but that's not the point )

In any way, Links looks better than lynx. And the speed of both is the same

It's not a very long tutorial but it's nice.

Why lynx? wget is more common on unix based default installs these days than lynx or links or elinks (or any other text browser for that matter).

Bash is non-windows Command Prompt.

Nice idea, I'm surprised it works.

Does this display my ip address or the person who is looking at the script's ip address, or does it show everyone my ip address

nice script..I find it usefull.. good work!

lol nice tuturial. I would use it but, my ip stays the same. Been the same ip for like over 1 year. Maybe i should reset my ip.
