If you want to use a shell script to return the IP to the stdout, you could probably use 'curl'.
1- If you don't have curl, you would have to install it: [sudo] apt-get install curl 2- Get one of these sites that return your external IP (You know no site like this? just google "what is my IP", without quotes) and create a shell command. See my example: $ curl http://www.ip-adress.com/ | grep "My IP: " Test it and then you put it in a shell script and you're done. :) Cheers, Rafael
