HOSTNAME(1)							   HOSTNAME(1)

NAME    [Toc]    [Back]

     hostname -	set or print name of current host system

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

     hostname [-s] [nameofhost]

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

     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.
