On Solaris, what is a terse way to get the fully qualified domain name (fqdn) for the current host
From here:
The
hostname
command should return an FQDN...
...
The solution is to edit /etc/nodename and put the FQDN in there and reboot.echo foo.your.domain.com > /etc/nodename
You might also be able to use:
getent hosts `hostname` | cut -f 3
or similar.
Your method depends upon the /etc/hosts file being formatted in a particular way, on a S10 system I have to hand it returns loghost which is incorrect.
If set up you can ask the DNS system with
dig -x your.ip.add.ress +short
or if you are using NIS then
echo `hostname`.`domainname`
or you could setup /etc/nodename
as Dennis suggests.
