Droid Module: hostname

Change the host name. For more information on Droid, please see droidphp.com.

The steps involved are:-

1. Write the new host name into the templated shell script and copy it to the host.
2. Execute the shell script on the host.

Assumptions

1. The platform is Debian-based.
2. The host name configuration of the host is in a consistent state. The shell script will either make all of the required changes or none of them, depending on whether the host name is different from that proposed.

Limitations

1. The shell script will simply replace, in /etc/hosts, all instances of the existing name, wherever they might occur, with the proposed name.

Information required by the module

None.

Optional information

None.
