You want the commands to execute. Replace the single quotes with
backtics:
loceth0=`/sbin/ifconfig | grep -A 4 eth0 | awk ' /inet/ { print $2 } ' sed -e s/addr:// `
Or this:
LOCALIF=eth0
LOCALIP=`ifconfig $LOCALIF | grep inet | cut -d : -f 2 | cut -d \ -f 1`

When I grow up, I wanna be more like me.
I had a clue. I didn't like it. I took it back and exchanged it for an
attitude.
