Re: Getting hostname
Hi,
> Have you tried

> host --version
With package host:
holger@myhost:~$ host --version
host version 991529
With package bind9-host:
holger@myhost:~$ host --version
host: illegal option -- -
host: illegal option -- e
host: illegal option -- s
host: illegal option -- i
host: illegal option -- o
Usage: host [-aCdlrTwv] [-c class] [-n] [-N ndots] [-t type] [-W time]
[-R number] hostname [server]
-a is equivalent to -v -t *
-c specifies query class for non-IN data
-C compares SOA records on authoritative nameservers
-d is equivalent to -v
-l lists all hosts in a domain, using AXFR
-n Use the nibble form of IPv6 reverse lookup
-N changes the number of dots allowed before root lookup is done
-r disables recursive processing
-R specifies number of retries for UDP packets
-t specifies the query type
-T enables TCP/IP mode
-v enables verbose output
-w specifies to wait forever for a reply
-W specifies how long to wait for a reply
Greetings
Holger
