FWIW, hostname -I is not portable to e.g. OpenBSD: https://man.openbsd.org/hostname.1

Excellent point, thanks @moviuro! I think we should go through our wrapper script then, which only runs hostname -I if that's available? (And possibly fall back to something else otherwise, if at all?)

if we do wrapper scripts we can stick to the perl variant

(its not like ip-screen worked on openbsd either)

wondering whether it would make sense to have ip-screen inside $PATH which then is simple script to check for hostname -I support and if not supported falls back to your perl script otherwise? 😁

Maybe it's worth having separate config file sets, one to use on the live CD, and one for people pulling the individual files. Not sure how f.e. screenrc worked before for individual-config-file users?
