I have a Universe session (AIX), and need a program to write test data when
its IP address is one I specify in the code. SYSTEM(42) is NT only. Is there
a way to discover which IP address this program is running on inside the
program?

Thanks!

I believe you want the IP address of the connecting client, not the
server. Commands and data structures vary from one *nix platform to
the next so I can only provide generalities (unless I'm commissioned
for a solution).

On the connecting process, you may be able to parse the result of a SH
to "whoami" to get what you want. Try "who -m" to see if it's any
different. If the data has the IP address in parentheses, you can
parse it in BASIC, or use this as your shell command:

who -m | cut -f2 -d\( | cut -f1 -d\)

If that doesn't help, I believe that data is stored in utmp (directory
varies) and you might find a PHP, Perl, Java, or other utility that
reads/parses utmp data. You might need to first get the tty from some
command and then use that as a key to get the data you want from utmp.

Also note that doing this with SSH might be different than telnet.
SSH might load an environment variable with the client IP address.
Use "env" to see what's in there for your system.

That's all I got on me. A real answer would require real research,
sorry.

Thanks T. I'll give these suggestions a try when I get in tomorrow.

If you are running Accuterm, the ip address can be retrieved via
Accuterm programming using 'initsession.hostname'
