Post pipe commands into processes


I need to get to know what ip adress I have. Therefor I use telnet ( list /status/ppp-statistics/rx-options/ipcp/dsl1 ).

How can I make a srcipt that shows me the lines that are shown by the telnet client.
I tryed something like that ( echo "list /status/ppp-statistics/rx-options/ipcp/dsl1" | telnet 10.1.1.1 ), but it didn't work.

Does s.o. know how to do it?

Thx acren

What do you need to do with it then? Is it so you can get to your server externally? If this is the case then you can always register a name with DynDNS (http://www.dyndns.org) that will follow your IP around when it changes, or you could run something like
Code:
cat /status/ppp-statistics/rx-options/ipcp/dsl1 | mail someaddress@yahoo.com
so you get emailed your IP address.

Just a few thoughts, I don't know how much sucess you will have trying to script a standard telnet package... you might be able to do something similar with Perl, but you'd have to write the telnet part of it yourself I believe...

good luck!

Jamie...
