As long as whatismyip.com prints out your IP-Address in the HTML page title, you can use this:
Create shell script: Code: cd ~
mkdir bin
nano bin/whatismyip.sh
Insert this into nano: Code: #!/bin/bash
echo Your external IP Address is:
wget http://Www.whatismyip.com -O - -o /dev/null | grep '<TITLE>' | sed -r 's/<TITLE>WhatIsMyIP\.com \- //g' | sed -r 's/<\/TITLE>//g'
exit 0
Press Ctrl + O, Enter, Ctrl + X, then run: Code: chmod u+x bin/whatismyip.sh
Now you can check your external IP Address by running: Code: ~/bin/whatismyip.sh
