Networking script I am working on. This prints some information about your machine.

by

This Perl script will print some information about your networking set-up on your Linux machine.

#!/usr/bin/perl
 
use warnings;
 
$iface = "eth0";
 
@data = `ifconfig`;
 
$net = $data[1];
 
$kernel = `uname -r`;
 
printf("\n*-------------------------------------*\n");
 
printf("The IP of %s is:%s\n", $iface, $net);
printf("The kernel version is: %s\n", $kernel);
 
printf("\n*-------------------------------------*\n");

This is the output this script will give you.

jason@jason-desktop:~/Documents$ ./info.pl 
 
*-------------------------------------*
The IP of eth0 is:        inet 10.1.1.200  netmask 255.255.255.0  broadcast 10.1.1.255
 
The kernel version is: 4.10.0-32-generic
