Synopsis: /bin/hostname: New feature to return subcomponents of hostname
State-Changed-From-To: open->closed
State-Changed-By: iedowse
State-Changed-When: Tue Jan 22 15:23:10 PST 2002
State-Changed-Why:
Such an option to hostname would be of extremely limited use, and
it is just not the unix way of doing things; we have utilities such
as sed, awk, cut etc. for this very reason. In your case, you could
use
hostname | awk -F. '{print $(NF-1) "." $(NF)}'
and as always, there are many other ways that work too.
