Digging to the final IP

[Frank Bulk (iname.com)]

We’re using this in a bash shell script.  I don’t think there’s a native shell command to get the IP, so I’ll use a mixture of host and dig as necessary.

 

Thanks,

 

Frank

What are you using this for?

 

If it's part of a script, it might be easier to just use gethostbyname. For example, in php: http://php.net/manual/en/function.gethostbyname.php , Returns the IPv4 address or a string containing the unmodified hostname on failure.

Thanks, what I ended up using.

Didn't think that there was anything host could do that dig couldn't do.

Host also tells you about aliases it encounters along the way.
