I am looking for a bash command that will output only the gateway address for eth0. I have been looking around the forums and on the net but have not had any luck. The only thing I have found that comes close is using
netstat -r | grep default but the problem it display alot of extra stuff

Code:

netstat -r | grep '^default.*eth0$' | awk '{print $2}'

might be what you want

no need grep with awk

Code:

$ netstat -r |awk '$1=="default"{print $2}'
