Does anyone know how to find out the name of a Unix server running AIX (IBM version)?
 
#hostname

or

look in /etc/hosts for your IP Ian

"IF" is not a word it's a way of life
 
dont remember if it work with AIX, but on HPUX or SOLARIS or Linux do :

uname -a
 
for other systems the command 'hostname' will work Mike
