Re: How to retrieve a MAC address

[Ashish Srivastava]

Try following code on 'Linux'   #!/usr/bin/perl -w use strict; my @lines = `ifconfig`; my $fline = shift @lines; chomp $fline; $fline =~ /HWaddr\s+(.*)$/; print "$1\n";   cheers Ashish -------Original Message-------   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Thursday, June 19, 2003 09:50:54 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: How to retrieve a MAC address   Hi All,   I need to retrieve the MAC address of my local system from a Perl script. I'm running RedHat 7.2.   Can anyone point me to some sample code for accomplishing this? I've Googled for quite a while, and come up empty.   Alternatively, does anyone know where the MAC is stored on RedHat 7.2?   Thanks,   Aaron   -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]   ____________________________________________________   IncrediMail - Email has finally evolved - Click Here
