Try this (Linux)

/sbin/ifconfig eth1 | grep 'inet addr:' | cut -d: -f2| cut -d' ' -f1

or this (Linux)

/sbin/ifconfig eth0 | awk -F ' *|:' '/inet addr/{print $4}'

or this (*BSD)

ifconfig bge0 | grep 'inet' | cut -d' ' -f2

or this (Solaris 10)

ifconfig e1000g0 | awk '/inet / {print $6}'

Obviously change the interface name to match the one you want to get the information from.

On *BSD systems the ifconfig output is a bit different - ifconfig bge0 | grep 'inet' | cut -d' ' -f2 will work (substitute your appropriate interface name in place of bge0, obviously) – voretaq7♦ Aug 15 '11 at 18:08
ip addr show eth1| grep inet|awk '{print $2;}' – navaho Aug 16 '11 at 22:18
