General :: Bash Script To Change Hostname For RHEL
Jan 15, 2011I'm trying to write a script to change the hostname of the computer at the first boot. The reason why I need this script is because I manage a number of training computer and I use Ghost to re-image it every 2 months. The script will read the mac address and the hostname from a csv file and compare it with the mac address on the current machine. I have stuck and don't know what is wrong as I'm new with script.
csv format:
Code:
00:11:22:33:44:55 host01
00:11:22:33:44:56 host02
script:
Code:
#!/bin/bash
# Description
# Change HOSTNAME for each machine from CSV file
#
# CSV File Format
# Each line contains two columns - mac address & hostname
# Description End .....

Apr 22, 2010I have Slackware 12.2 installed on my computer, as well as a Windows Xp. I have a hard drive named '/fat-d', which is formatted to be 'fat' and is normally used under XP. This drive can also be accessed under Slackware, both as root and the normal user.I can not write to the directory '/fat-d' when I am not root, it is normal since 'ls -l' shows that its owner is root and other users have no permission to write. The problem is that, when I tried (as root) to change the owner to the normal user:# chown [normal_user_name] /fat-dI got an error: chown: changing ownership of '/fat-d/':Operation not permittedBut how can the root have no permission to change the owner?

Mar 26, 2011I admit I am a little green with the "Bourne Again Shell" (Bash), even though I was always not as proficient with the Bourne or Korn shell as with C Shell. From recent research the public sway is to Bash over tcsh. I can see I have been away from Linux/UNIX way to long.

View 7 Replies View RelatedSoftware :: Bash Hostname Completion Not Working?
Nov 25, 2009According to the Bash man pages, Quote: HOSTFILE Contains the name of a file in the same format as /etc/hosts that should be read when the shell needs to complete a hostname. The list of possible hostname completions may be changed while the shell is running; the next time hostname completion is attempted after the value is changed, bash adds the contents of the new file to the existing list. If HOSTFILE is set, but has no value, bash attempts to read /etc/hosts to obtain the list of possible hostname completions. When HOSTFILE is unset, the hostname list is cleared.
Here's the line in my .bashrc where HOSTFILE is set:
Code:
export HOSTFILE="~/.hosts"
I opened a new bash session, created ~/.hosts, filled it with the names of servers that I wanted to expand using tab completion. then typed
Code:
ssh p<tab><tab>
expecting to get a lists of all of the hosts in ~/.hosts starting with 'p'. Bash simply beeped at me twice.
I tried
Code:
$ shopt hostcomplete
hostcomplete on
Code:
ssh bchittenden@p<tab><tab>
same results.

General :: Bash Scripting - Executes A Few Perl Scripts - Create A New Array And Take The Hostname
Apr 4, 2011I'm writing a bash script that executes a few perl scripts. One of the perl scripts that I need to execute requires two arguments with it. The arguments are stored in a txt file, each line contains a hostname and its corresponding IP address separated by a ":" (colon), the txt file looks like this below:
[Code]...
I'm not sure if it's the best way to accomplish this but here it goes. In the bash file, let's call it getHosts.sh, I create an array and assign each line of the file to an element in that array. I then think I need to create a new array where I take the hostname (which is before the ":") separate it from its IP address and place the IP address on a new line just below the hostname (this way I can reference to it like $hostNames[$x] would be the hostname, and $hostNames[$x+1] would be its IP address). So the new array would now look like this below:

Debian :: Trying To Change Hostname Through SSH
Apr 15, 2010I tried to change hostname through ssh.
Old hostname = server1
New hostname = server1.domain.local
I changed the hostname by editing the /etc/hostname file
Old:
/etc/hostname
server1
New:
/etc/hostname
server1.domain.local
Then I executed /etc/init.d/hostname.sh, and get as below, looks OK!
hostname -f
server1.domain.local
hostname
server1.domain.local
hostname -s
server1
The logs are still just showing server1.
Example:
tail -f /var/log/auth.log
Apr 15 13:30:01 server1 CRON[22783]: pam_unix(cron:session): session opened for user root by (uid=0)
Apr 15 13:30:02 server1 CRON[22783]: pam_unix(cron:session): session closed for user root
Do I really have to reboot, or is this normal behaviour that it does not show the full hostname?

3) then restarted the service /etc/init.d/network restart

Ubuntu :: Sudo Broken After Hostname Change
Nov 2, 2010I changed my hostname by running sudo gedit /etc/hostname and changing the word there. Then I discovered that hadn't done anything so I used sudo hostname newname. My hostname was changed then but I tried to run sudo gedit /some/thing/else.txt and it said:

(gedit:5512): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: :0.0 and it says the same with sudo or gksudo for any program that has a gui including synaptic. I can run vi but I have no idea how to use it. I think the problem lies in the lines in /etc/hosts which still say

with the problem being that it still says localhost and my local IP address are ubuntu instead of newname. So if you could tell me how to edit that with vi or some other command line program

General :: Slackware VM - Hostname Not Resolving
Jan 28, 2010I have a version of slackware installed as a virtual machine and am not able to ping hosts or otherwise receive data from any IP addresses external to the LAN. I think this problem is due to the hostname of the vm not being recognized by the gateway (ddwrt); the vm receives an IP via dhcp but the gateway does not seem to recognize its hostname (registers as *).
Will readily respond with whatever conf file is needed.
Slackware :: Can't Ping Any Local Hostname
Feb 20, 2010I've setup two slackware in a Dell Inspiron 640m e in Acer Aspire One D150.
In my router the domain is "home", the two slack use wicd (dhcpcd backend) to connect. I can go in internet.
The problem is that in my router panel I can see the hostname (so dhcpcd send the right one) but they can't ping other machine in the lan (windows 2000, nas or other linux box).
Now I can't use a fixed ip (i change several networks with different routers).
I think I miss something that can ask to my router the hostname.
Anyway I was able to ping Dell.local and Acer.local with Ubuntu karmic.

OpenSUSE Network :: Hostname Change Via YaST Not Applied After Restart

Slackware :: Apple Time Capsule DHCP Sets Bogus Hostname?
Jan 20, 2011During Slackware 13.1 setup, I chose the hostname stella-sl2. This hostname is also the one that the system is displaying before I configured network access. After configuring wired network access to my Apple Time Capsule, my hostname suddenly changed to INTERFACE='eth0'. As a result I'm noticing some very strange things, like the login prompt which has become "INTERFACE='eth0' login: ".
After configuring wireless network access to the Time Capsule, the hostname changed to "INTERFACE='wlan0'". Note that, during boot, wlan0 is brought up AFTER eth0.
Also strange is this:
bash-4.1$ cat /etc/HOSTNAME
INTERFACE='eth0'.DNSSERVERS='10.0.1.1'
bash-4.1$ /bin/hostname
INTERFACE='wlan0'
bash-4.1$
Until now, it was only a minor annoyance, it didn't prevent anything from happening, internet connection was not affected. But now I'm configuring sendmail which needs to talk to a relay SMTP server, and sendmail "HELO"'s itself using the bogus hostname:
>>> HELO INTERFACE='wlan0'
<<< 501 HELO requires valid address
554 5.0.0 Service unavailable
Probably this is caused by the Time Capsule not adhering to standards. However, the Time Capsule's firmware is the latest version, so I cannot fix this. Is there a way to prevent dhcp from changing the hostname? How can I make sure that the hostname that I configured during setup remains active?
