Get my current local address when logged in via ssh
Hello all,
My job uses an IRC server, and we normally update our nick name based on our status, i.e. _office, _away, _home (working from home).
I connect to it by ssh'ing to our office server, and use irssi to connect to the IRC.
I already have a script so that when I detach from the screen running irssi, it sets my nick to _away .. but I want to enhance it.
I know that the server somehow logs my local (home) IP address when I ssh, hence the "Last Login From ..." line. And using 'w' I can see the remote IPs of everyone logged in. But is there any way to access just MY current login IP in a parseable form?
If it was possible, I would get that from within the irssi script and dynamically set my nick _office or _home, when I connect to the server from my office IP or my home IP.
Hopefully I explained that enough, can anyone think of a command or resource for getting my current local IP address when connecting to a server with SSH?
Thanks
