10.3.1 Hostname

The kernel maintains a system hostname. The initscript /etc/init.d/hostname.sh sets the system hostname at boot time (using the hostname command) to the name stored in /etc/hostname. This file should contain only the system hostname, not a fully qualified domain name.

To print out the current hostname run hostname without an argument.
