Hi Maykel, > $ source /etc/environment > ip="$(ifconfig | grep -A 1 'eth0' | tail -1 | cut -d ':' -f 2 | cut -d ' ' -f 1)" https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Environment_variables#Globally says /etc/environment doesn't take code, just simple assignments. Also see pam_env(8) and the rest of that wiki page. -- Cheers, Ralph. https://plus.google.com/+RalphCorderoy
