Dojo: Unique IPs, Sorted

EasyOne-Liner Dojo5 min
The brief

The log /root/requests.log has one request per line, client IP in field 1 — with plenty of repeats. In ONE line, write the SORTED, DE-DUPLICATED list of IPs (one per line) to /root/answer.txt.

There's a one-flag way to sort and dedupe together. Reaching for sort piped into uniq works, but it's a stage longer than it needs to be. Beat par.

What you'll do
  • Write the sorted, unique list of client IPs to /root/answer.txt, in one line
