Re: [arch-general] Set ip lan address /etc/environment

Why not put it in ~/.profile? Or if it needs to be system wide, in /etc/profile.d/ip.sh? On 30/05/2018 13:07, Maykel Franco via arch-general wrote:

Hi, I put this text in /etc/environment:

$ source /etc/environment

ip="$(ifconfig | grep -A 1 'eth0' | tail -1 | cut -d ':' -f 2 | cut -d ' ' -f 1)"

$ echo $ip

192.168.0.33

Works fine, but when I reboot my archlinux:

$ echo $ip

$(ifconfig | grep -A 1 'eth0' | tail -1 | cut -d ':' -f 2 | cut -d ' ' -f 1)

What's happened?? Is necessary exec source /etc/environment after every reboot?

Thanks in advanced.
