Found a solution.
cat /etc/hosts | grep -w `echo $DISPLAY | sed -e 's/:/ /g' | awk
'{print $1}'` | cut -f1
which returns 127.0.0.1 and that works in my code.
I'm wondering are the client hostnames of
ws253.ltsp
ws252.ltsp
ws251.ltsp
etc...
always
192.168.0.253
192.168.0.252
192.168.0.251
etc...
if they always match like this then I don't need to look in /etc/hosts
