find the computer name

[skarosi]

Dear all,
I need to obdain the name of a machine and save it as a String.
is there a command in Java that would do it automatically?
if not, is there any command for unix and windows, that would print the name in a command prompt/terminal?
thanks

String host = "";
try {
	host = java.net.InetAddress.getLocalHost().getHostName();
} catch (Exception e) {
        // handle error
}
