Re: [CentOS] print something on console after boot

I might be in left field but...

in init.d create a script that simply

echo_ip

script contents #!/bin/bash ip -4 addr |grep inet |tee /var/log/ip # this will only print the ip lines and copy to /var/log/ip ( I prefer tee over echo, for a variety of reasons)

then create S99echo_ip in rc3.d so that it runs last

How do I print something on the text-mode console right after the OS has finished booting?

I've a virtual instance and I need to know its IP address after it has finished booting up, to know where to ssh into it. I've tried adding "ip -4 addr > /dev/tty0" to rc.local, but that obviously doesn't work, because the login prompt overwrites everything I do.
