Thanks for your advice ~
But After I edit the command "alias checketh0 "echo `ifconfig eth0 | grep
'inet addr:' |awk '{print $2}' | cut -c 6-`" in my .cshrc file
The screen displays this :
innet addr:192.168.7.24 Bcast:192.168.7.255 Mask :255.255.255.0
I just want to the "192.168.7.24"
Maybe is it the awk command error?
