On Cygwin, /bin/hostname is part of sh-utils. On RedHat, it's part of net-utils and provides a much richer set of options. I discovered this the hard way, when RH8 `/bin/hostname -s` didn't work on cygwin. (On RH8, -s stands for short host name, e.g., the "host" of "host.example.com".) Is there any chance Cygwin might get a nicer hostname, or is this really complicated? -JT _________________________________________________________________ Tired of spam?
