The issue is as below : My machine : pc-vj.sj.com Bash command : "hostname" returns - pc-vj.sj.com and ip-address is 10.0.0.225 But Tclsh8.4 command : "info hostnam" returns - localhost.localdomain and ip-address is 127.0.0.1 Expected is the same behavior as the bash euqivalent "hostname". Why is this ambiguity ? Is it not reliable to use "info hostname" ? If yes (not reliable), what is the equivalent command (other than hostname) ? <>Enter Category Here
