uname
|
Each computer on a network needs a name.
On many UNIX versions, the uname -n
command shows you this name.
(GNU uname
is on the CD-ROM.
The install program will only install uname
if your system has the
facilities to work with it.)
On some systems, the command hostname
or
uuname -l
(two u
s, lowercase L
) may be what you want.
If you use more than one system, the hostname is great to use in a shell
prompt - or any time you forget where you're logged in. |
