Pergunta
I am using a CentOS server, and i want to get a remote dynamic ip in a value to use in a script. Right now the script gets the ip like this:
current_ip=$(curl --silent http://ipecho.net/plain)
but since i am moving the script to a server, i need it to ping my dyndns domain name and get my ip since its going to be changing every now and then. Is there a way to do this with ping or something ? So i can add in current_ip my ip every time the script executes ? -Thanks
