finding the IP for eth0

[John Borwick]

Hey, everybody.  I hope you're doing well.

I'm trying to do the following:

control:
eth0_ip = ( ExecResult(/bin/sh -c "/usr/sbin/ifconfig eth0 | 
/usr/bin/perl -lne 'print \$1 if / addr:(\S+)/'") )


It looks like cfengine gets hung up on the parentheses.  How do I

 1. find the IP for eth0 (for the purposes of editing ifcfg-eth0)
 2. put parentheses inside ExecResult commands?

Thanks!
John
