System Administration Commands                       setuname(1M)



NAME
     setuname - change machine information

SYNOPSIS
     setuname [-t] [-n node] [-s name]


DESCRIPTION
     The setuname utility changes the  parameter  value  for  the
     system  name  and  node  name. Each parameter can be changed
     using setuname and the appropriate option.


     Either or both the -s and -n  options  must  be  given  when
     invoking setuname.


     The system architecture may place requirements on  the  size
     of  the system and network node name. The command will issue
     a fatal warning message and an error  message  if  the  name
     entered is incompatible with the system requirements.

OPTIONS
     The following options are supported:

     -n node    Changes the node name.  node  specifies  the  new
                network node name and can consist of alphanumeric
                characters  and  the  special  characters   dash,
                underbar, and dollar sign.


     -s name    Changes the system name. name specifies new  sys-
                tem  name and can consist of alphanumeric charac-
                ters and the special characters  dash,  underbar,
                and dollar sign.


     -t         Temporary change. No  attempt  will  be  made  to
                create a permanent change.

NOTES
     setuname attempts to change  the  parameter  values  in  two
     places: the running kernel and, as necessary per implementa-
     tion, to cross system reboots. A  temporary  change  changes
     only the running kernel.
