Operating Systems AIX When/how is $HOSTNAME populated ? Post 302331679 by zaxxon on Tuesday 7th of July 2009 01:19:15 AM

I don't know what happened but maybe an alternative might be to use in your script:
Code:
MY_HOSTNAME=`hostname`

#or

MY_HOSTNAME=`uname -n`

Might be more safe instead of hoping that $HOSTNAME is set.
