Script: iptohex
No error checking, just a simple time saver. Converts an ipaddress into hexadecimal suitable for use by tftp tools and pxe booting. The builtin command gethostip does this also, I include the script incase someone finds it useful.
Example:
uphill@surrey[1]:
iptohex 10.168.192.134
0AA8C086
#!/bin/bash
IPADDR=$1
if [ x${IPADDR}x = xx ]; then
echo "usage: $0
exit 1
fi
for octet in `echo $IPADDR |tr '.' ' '`
do
printf "%02X" "$octet"
done
echo
