Hi
One thing you can do quickly and easily is to issue:
system_profiler
There is a slight delay but then the output can be quite long. You will definitely see the default Gateway in the output. There may be a quicker and simpler way of doing this? Possibly ifconfig or even ipconfig? You could consult the manual pages to see if there is anything available? You could also use the apropos command to see if anything gets thrown up. Something like:
apropos gateway
Should list any shell commands/scripts that may give you the information you want.
