Operating Systems HP-UX UX 11iV2 - No ping by hostname Post 302133804 by netwalker on Sunday 26th of August 2007 04:22:06 AM

Thanks fpmurphy.

No there is no warning during nslookup.
There was a hostname in /etc/rc.config.d/netconf
it was:
Code:
HOSTNAME=hp-j5000

I changed it to:
Code:
HOSTNAME=hp-j5000.magnet.com

Also I added domain to resolv.conf:
Code:
domain magnet.com

However, there is still the same problem:
Code:
#hostname
hp-j5000.magnet.com

#nslookup hp-j5000
Name Server: mygateway1.ar7
Address: 192.168.200.1

Trying DNS
Trying NIS
tooking up FILES
Name: hp-j5000
Address: 192.168.200.40
Alieases: loghost

#ping hp-j5000
ping: unknown host hp-j5000

In other words, the system is still unable to resolve the hostname.
In DNS client, /usr/sbin/sam shows that one of DNS sources is /etc/hosts, but actually the system doesn't apply to this file and still not resolving names.
How to make the system applying to /etc/hosts too?

Thanks.

DtWsmSetCurrentWorkspace(library call)									    DtWsmSetCurrentWorkspace(library call)

NAME
DtWsmSetCurrentWorkspace -- set the current workspace SYNOPSIS
#include <Dt/Wsm.h> int DtWsmSetCurrentWorkspace( Widget widget, Atom aWorkspace); DESCRIPTION
The DtWsmSetCurrentWorkspace function works with the CDE workspace manager, dtwm(1), and sets the current workspace. Applications can use this function to switch from the current workspace to another workspace. The widget argument is a realized widget on the screen of interest. The aWorkspace argument is the name (in X atom form) of the workspace to be made current. RETURN VALUE
Upon successful completion, the DtWsmSetCurrentWorkspace function returns Success; otherwise, it returns a value not equal to Success. APPLICATION USAGE
If the DtWsmSetCurrentWorkspace function is not successful, the most likely reason for failure is that the CDE workspace manager, dtwm(1), is not running. The DtWsmSetCurrentWorkspace function requires a widget. A gadget is not acceptable for the widget argument. DtWsmSetCurrentWorkspace sends a message to the CDE workspace manager, dtwm(1), to switch workspaces. If the workspace name is not valid, no action is taken and the workspace manager reports no error. SEE ALSO
