Thankfully Philip kindly pointed out the awk syntax 11 hours prior and I took a
few minutes to rewrite the little play script to be exactly as you have presented
here, only I didn't feel it was worth reposting wasted bw. What would have been nice
for those of us who have only just started playing with awk; would have been to have
some one suggest a code byte on how to have this thing automagickally grab the
interface name from ifconfig.
