[graudeejs]

How get get ip address in sh or perl, If I know server adress?

For example I want to get IP for example.com
How to do that in sh or perl? (perl preferred)

dig(1)?

 

[graudeejs]

# arp freebsd.org
freebsd.org (69.147.83.40) -- no entry

works better (for what I want)

perhaps, there's tool/cmd to get IP only?

 

[anemos]

#!/usr/bin/perl -w

use strict;
use Socket;

my $raw_ip;
my $dotted_ip;

$raw_ip = gethostbyname("freebsd.org");

if (defined $raw_ip) {
        $dotted_ip = inet_ntoa($raw_ip);
        print $dotted_ip;
} else {
        print 'Not found';
}

$ ./getip.pl
$ 69.147.83.40

I would do like this

> dig +noall +answer ya.ru | awk '{ print $5}'
213.180.204.8
77.88.21.8
93.158.134.8

Or if you need only 1 ip, in shell

IP=`dig +noall +answer ya.ru | awk '{ print $5; nextfile; }'`

You can remove the need for awk by using "+short", i.e.

vulcan# dig +short freebsd.org
69.147.83.40
vulcan# dig +short google.com
74.125.67.100
74.125.127.100
74.125.45.100
vulcan#
