We are using "hostname -f" when compiling our quantum chemistry package Dir= ac, it is used to specify the full domain name in the output of calculation= s. This is sometimes useful for tracking "where is this dirac.x compiled", = if problems should arise which could be related to compiler problems or lib= raries or .... I would therefore appreciate if someone would implement at least the "-f" o= ption of the hostname command, so we don't get error messages instead of th= e hostname as output (and dirac.chem.sdu.dk tells more about where than jus= t dirac). - Hans J=F8rgen Aa. Jensen. PS. the builtin hostname in bash just ignore options. I am referring to /bi= n/hostname.exe. -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
