<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I realize that I may be suffering from
Re-create the wheel disease but I have already re written the script
partially as an exercise and partly as wanting the power to customize it.
what I really need at this point is a way to turn symbolic addresses into
IPs and leave IPs alone from a command line. but I don't know of one that
works easily. I do appreciate the suggestions
though.</FONT></DIV></BLOCKQUOTE>
<DIV><BR>Fair enough, if you happen to have the package mysql-server, it comes
with an app called /usr/bin/resolveip which would do that task. <BR><BR>But
more likey you will have the syslinux package which comes with
/usr/bin/gethostip. <BR><BR>Example:<BR><BR>resoveip -s <A

sometimes get log entries with the symbolic <BR>address instead of the
ip. how do I convert these in a systematic way and<BR>not have a problem
when I run IPs through it. I'm sure this is an easy task<BR>but I don't
