HOSTNAME(1) HOSTNAME(1) NAME hostname - set or print name of current host system SYNOPSIS hostname [-s] [nameofhost] DESCRIPTION Hostname prints the name of the current host. The -s option trims any domain information from the printed name. The super-user can set the hostname by supplying an argument; this is usually done in the system setup initialization script /etc/init.d/sysetup using the contents of /etc/sys_id. This setting persists only until the next reboot when the startup procedure will once again initialize the hostname with the contents of the above file. To permanently change this value change the contents of the above file then run hostname as a privileged user. SEE ALSO gethostname(2), sethostname(2) Page 1[top]
