HOSTNAME(1N)            COMMAND REFERENCE            HOSTNAME(1N)



NAME
     hostname - set or print name of current host system

SYNOPSIS
     hostname [ nameofhost ]

DESCRIPTION
     The hostname command prints the name of the current host, as
     given before the ``login'' prompt.  The super-user can set
     the hostname by giving an argument; this is done
     automatically at startup by /etc/rc.net, using
     netconfig(8n). The hostname is stored in /etc/network.conf
     file.

     If the hostname is changed, shutdown(8) the system and bring
     it back to multi-user again to restart the network daemons.

FILES
     /etc/network.conf        current host data

                    terminated.

     [P_ERR]        A system error occurred. Execution
                    terminated.  See intro(2) for more
                    information on system errors.
