Subject: [CentOS] How to display the IP on the welcome screen
Hi all,
I'm running CentOS 5.4 in a VMware guest, with the host connected to a DHCP
enabled LAN
When CentOS comes up, I would like to see the IP adress displayed on the
welcome screen.
This would save me the hassle of logging in the VM, getting the IP, and
logging off before finally ssh'ing to the VM.
=============
Is this to be shown on the GUI welcome screen or when you eg ssh in?

try a bash script like the following :
#!/bin/sh
ADRESS=`ifconfig | grep "inet addr" | awk '{print $2}' | sed s/addr:// |
head -n 1`
echo "The IP adress is : $ADRESS." > /etc/issue

Or, if you'd rather use the iproute toolset rather than ifconfig:
ip -o -f inet addr show dev eth0 | awk '{print $4}' | cut -d/ -f1

How to display the IP on the welcome screen
Ideally, it should be displayed on the GUI, like the date/time and hostname

Hi all,
I'm running CentOS 5.4 in a VMware guest, with the host connected to a DHCP
enabled LAN
When CentOS comes up, I would like to see the IP adress displayed on the
welcome screen.
This would save me the hassle of logging in the VM, getting the IP, and
logging off before finally ssh'ing to the VM.
=============
Is this to be shown on the GUI welcome screen or when you eg ssh in?

This is a good step, but how do I get the contents of /etc/issue on the gui

i'm not sure if zenity is standard in CentOS, otherwise install EPEL repo.

Ah, I've been looking to get this too - it'd be very practical - but so far
haven't found a way. 8-/

Thanks!
Notes: If the default TreeFlower theme is being used, the path is
<</usr/share/gdm/themes/TreeFlower>> and the image to be used is
background.png.
Testing this right now.
