NAME
pmhostname - report hostname
SYNOPSIS
$PCP_BINADM_DIR/pmhostname [hostname]
DESCRIPTION
pmhostname reports the name of the host hostname as
returned by gethostbyname(3N).
If hostname is not specified, then the local host name is
retrieved using gethostname(2) and this is than passed to
gethostbyname(3N).
pmhostname provides a service for shell scripts that mim
ics the logic used by Performance Co-Pilot applications
when trying to determine the official name of a host.
If gethostbyname(3N) fails, the input host name (either
hostname or the result from calling gethostname(2)) is
reported.
PCP ENVIRONMENT
Environment variables with the prefix PCP_ are used to
parameterize the file and directory names used by PCP. On
each installation, the file /etc/pcp.conf contains the
local values for these variables. The $PCP_CONF variable
may be used to specify an alternative configuration file,
as described in pcp.conf(4).
