If the goal here is "provide users with an easy way to find their ip
address", I don't think changing how one calls an arcane command like
ifconfig is really the solution. Instead, there should be a shell script
named something like "myip", which will then just return that.
+1 but you can get your ip from the network applet, how many "average"
users are dropping to a terminal to do anything?
All of them when something doesn't work and they call their sysadmin
friend that has known how to check the ip address on unix-like systems
for decades. You aren't doing anyone a favor by making that difficult.
