computer name (hostname) on hpux

[Shivkumar]

Dear Sir,

What are files where hpux keeps it's computer name (hostname)?
In /etc/hosts file which entry signifies the real computer name ?

Thanks,
Shiv

look at the HOSTNAME variable in /etc/rc.config.d/netconf

HOSTNAME informations is stored in /etc/rc.config.d/netconf file.

It is read by /sbin/init.d/hostname startup script and set it as,

hostname $HOSTNAME

hth.

Though I think that, as Melvyn said, it's primarily set in the netconf file, I always rely on "/sbin/set_parms hostname" to ensure that changes take place everywhere they need to.

Hi Shiv

Host name is found in /etc/rc.config.d/netconf file besides /etc/hosts
