[Solved] dhcpcd info file

[banshee22]

Hi all,

Is there a way to read dhcpcd result in a file? Something like dhcpcd-<interface>.info where we can read IP, GATEWAY and other informations returned by dhcp server? I found a dhcpcd.eth0.lease file but I'm unable to read it.

Thanks,

Banshee

ifconfig and route:
bash-4.1# dhcpcd --help
usage: dhcpcd [-dgknpqwxyADEGHJKLOTV] [-c script] [-f file] [-e var=val]
[-h hostname] [-i classID ] [-l leasetime] [-m metric] [-o option]
[-r ipaddr] [-s ipaddr] [-t timeout] [-u userclass]
[-F none|ptr|both] [-I clientID] [-C hookscript] [-Q option]
[-X ipaddr] <interface>
all command into the console ,have fun

Code: Select all

ifconfig eth0 | grep 'inet addr:' | cut -d: -f2 | awk '{ print $1}'

Enjoy!

What information are you looking for exactly?

cat /etc/dhcpcd.conf

I'm looking for allocated IP address (Hamza gave me a way to find it through ifconfig and awk command), but I can't find gateway address ?

anybody knows if there is a way to read dhcpcd-<interface>.lease file?

type in console: route -n

For me this would be:

Code: Select all

route -n|sed -n 3p|awk '{print$2}'

sed gets the third line down. awk gets the second field with 'space' delimiter.
