a combo of wc and awk/sed can do it as well...

...we got a bb script that does something similar for printers, but it
doesn't re-write the file (it writes to another file), although having it
re-write the file shouldn't be too diff

Subject: Port Probes Again


I have been getting a lot of port probes each day. To the point that I am
getting 100 + Meg log file. I would like to write a script that will parse
out only the single unique IP from the file. I know I can use grep to get
the lines, but how do I get the unique IP from these greped lines?
