CentOS 7: Getting interface IP numbers

I am trying to autopopulate the /etc/issue in a CentOS 7 image (this will be a template, and it needs to be easy to identify the resultant VMs at a glance).

I have the following in my /sbin/ifup-local:

#!/bin/bash

cd /etc ;
unlink ./issue ;

sleep 1 ;

issue_original="$(cat ./issue-original)" ;
show_ip="$(ip addr show |awk '$1=="inet" && $2 !~ /^127/ {print "\t"$2}')" ;

co -l ./issue ;
echo -e "${issue_original}\n\n\tCurrent IP Numbers:\n\t===================\n${show_ip}\n" >./issue ;
ci -m -u ./issue ;

The /etc/issue-original looks like:

Logging into:

        Node: \\n
        Running: \\S

When I run the script by hand (sudo /sbin/ifup-local ; cat /etc/issue), it populates the /etc/issue correctly. When this is run automatically (such as when it is a result of sudo service network restart ; cat /etc/issue), the file-template and static text are there, but the IP numbers are empty (not even empty lines).

Am I misunderstanding the order of execution (is ifup-local executed before the IP numbers are assigned)? It looks like this is at the very end of the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup-post, so I would assume it is after DHCP client has set the interfaces.

Is there a delay between when the interface IP numbers are set and when the "ip" command knows about them? The "sleep" statement is in there because I thought it might be the case.

Any pointers in the right direction are greatly appreciated.

Happy Sunday!

==========================

Edit:

Here is what I saw in /etc/issue after restarting the network service.

[david@localhost ~]$ sudo service network restart
Restarting network (via systemctl):                        [  OK  ]
[david@localhost ~]$ cat /etc/issue

Logging into:

        Node: \n
        Running: \S

        Current IP Numbers:
        ===================


[david@localhost ~]$

Additionally, I have instrumented the script with copious debugging messages, to find where things are and are not working. Here is what was logged on the last run (I truncated the log before the run, to remove extraneous information).

[david@localhost conf.d]$ clear
[david@localhost conf.d]$ >/tmp/ifup-local.log
[david@localhost conf.d]$ tail -f /tmp/ifup-local.log
