    Command to show/discover Linux server public IP address

    Hello,

    how on any Linux distribution i can get an IP address of the server i am working on? Which command to use , how to discover server IP on Linux?

    i mean by command and output is plain IP not anything else..

    Update:

    working for VPS & dedi:
    Code:
    hostname -i
    curl -L http://myip.dnsomatic.com
    curl -L http://cpanel.net/showip.shtml
    this worked on dedi servers:
    Code:
    /sbin/ifconfig|grep inet|sed 's/\:/ /'|awk 'NR==1 {print $3}'
    Works for VPS & dedi and is independent, default Linux based:
    Code:
    ifconfig | grep -Eo 'inet (addr:)?([0-9]*\.){3}[0-9]*' | grep -Eo '([0-9]*\.){3}[0-9]*' | grep -v '127.0.0.1'|head -n 1
