Find a way to get end user public and FQDN with out asking in postinst

[Joseph Mills]

As is right now under the debian/postinst file
dialog is being used to ask for the FQDN and also the mysqlpassword and public ipaddress
I am sure that there is a work around for something like this.

snippet of code dialog in Debian postint

figlet -c "Welcome To ";
figlet -c "ZPanel X";
 sleep 4 ;
clear

function funky1(){
 echo ""
 echo "Please Enter roots MySql Password."
 echo "Then press Enter."

}
funky1a=$(funky1)
touch ~/.temppassword
asd=$(tempfile 2>~/.temppassword)
dialog --backtitle "MySQL Password" --clear --insecure --passwordbox "\n ${funky1a} \n " 17 40 2>~/.temppassword
retval=$?
mysqlpassword=$(cat ~/.temppassword)

touch ~/.tempdomain
function funky2(){
 echo ""
 echo "Please Enter what you want your FQDN to be."
 echo "Then press Enter."
}
funky2a=$(funky2)
touch ~/.tempdomain
dialog --inputbox "\n ${funky2a} \n " 17 60 2>~/.tempdomain
FULL_DOMAIN=$(cat ~/.tempdomain)

touch ~/.tempdomain
function funky3(){
 echo ""
 echo "Please enter your public IP Address."
 echo "Then press Enter."
}
funrky3a=$(funky3)
dialog --inputbox "\n ${funky3a} \n " 17 60 2>~/.tempip
IP_ADDR=$(cat ~/.tempip)

One down
get public ipaddress
will run this in a loop for eth0 wlan0 ect
awk '/inet addr:/{print (substr($2,6,15))}' <(ifconfig eth0)
