uname -s

Subhas R. Reddy — Mon, 16 Jul 2001 19:56:29 GMT

When I do uname -s on a HP-UX 11.0 system I am getting "-t" instead of "HP-UX" and when I do uname -a I am getting "-t atlhpux2 B.11.00 A 9000/821 2010184043 two-user license". Does any one know how to fix this problem?

Thanks,

Subhas

Hi,

It looks as though someone did a bad setuname
command. Do this: setuname -s HP-UX.

I think that will fix you, Clay

Hi,
here is what i got when i did a
man 2 uname

this is out of section 2.
hope it helps .

The uname() system call places information identifying the computer system in the utsname structure pointed to by name.
The utsname structure, defined in , is set up as
follows:

#define UTSLEN 9
#define SNLEN 15

char sysname[UTSLEN];
char nodename[UTSLEN];
char release[UTSLEN];
char version[UTSLEN];
char machine[UTSLEN];
char idnumber[SNLEN];

Hi
The hostname, operating system parameters are set by /etc/rc.config.d/netconf file and /sbin/init.d/hostname file. Check anything is changed in that.
/etc/rc.config.d/netconf should have entry for
"OPERATING_SYSTEM=HP-UX" which is set by /sbin/init.d/hostname file while booting
as "setuname -s $OPERATING_SYSTEM -t"
you can manually run #setuname -s HP-UX -t to set operating system to HP-UX. and run #uname -S to set your system name.

Thanks.
Prashant Deshpande.
