How to find out my IP address?

[lola]

Is there a way I can find out my IP address on my new SuSE 9.2 system?

Log in to a shell, and run

ifconfig

It shows you all your network cards and their current IP adresses.

check your IP you on following locations
http://static-or-dynamic-ip.com
http://echoip.com

When run by itself, whoami looks like this:
$ whoami
sbovisjb1

That should be sufficient to give you the clue on how to implement the test you seek:
if [ $(whoami) = "sbovisjb1" ]
then
execute the code, we're the right user
else
echo "You must be user 'joe' to run this script."
exit 0
fi

You can modify this to match the user or set of users you want to allow, or you can negate the logic to screen out bad userIDs immediately, like this:
if [ $(whoami) = "root" ]
then
echo "You cannot run this script as root."
exit 1
fi

I mentioned a website where you can check you're ip adress history... i believe the feds use this...

Another good site for finding info on your IP address is:
IP Notes - Find out your IP address
(copied from my bookmarks)
It also sticks your location on a Google Map - quite funky.

That's a nice feature - although it's showing my ISP's location and not mine. But still interesting.
