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 setu‐
       name.

       The system architecture may place requirements on the size of the  sys‐
       tem  and network node name. The command will issue a fatal warning mes‐
       sage 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 system name
		       and can consist of alphanumeric characters and the spe‐
		       cial 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 implementation,  to	 cross	system
       reboots. A temporary change changes only the running kernel.
