I think others might find it useful since the get_hostname() function is essentially attempting to figure it out dynamically but there is no guarantee that it will guess correctly or as desired. Also, it does save some resources when it's being specified such that it's returned immediately without doing some network connections and such. BTW, did my loadavg process contribution ever get merged into the codebase? http://www.mail-archive.com/func-list@xxxxxxxxxx/msg00712.html Phil _______________________________________________ Func-list mailing list Func-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/func-list
