hi, how can i write a hostname by script?

io.writefile...

[Daniel]

Try this

Code:

12345

------------------------------------ require('uci') uci.set("system.@system[0].hostname=name63characters") uci.commit('system') --------------------------------------

What Daniel posted will work but you will have to reboot for hostname to change. You should also write to hostname file in order to change it right away:

Code:

1

io.writefile('/proc/sys/kernel/hostname', 'myhostname')

[pepe]

Try this

Code:

12345

------------------------------------ require('uci') uci.set("system.@system[0].hostname=name63characters") uci.commit('system') --------------------------------------

Thank but does not work, maybe it's also me

io.writefile('/proc/sys/kernel/hostname', 'myhostname')

worked but the old name is adopted after a restart

I tried it and it worked. Your browser cache?

You need to run both code pieces to set both permanent and current hostname:

Code:

123456

hostname = 'myhostname' require('uci') uci.set("system.@system[0].hostname=" .. hostname) uci.commit('system') io.writefile('/proc/sys/kernel/hostname', hostname)

Try this

Code:

12345

------------------------------------ require('uci') uci.set("system.@system[0].hostname=name63characters") uci.commit('system') --------------------------------------

sorry it works! thanks forgot a sign...
after the restart it will be kept
