ping and telnet - HP-UX
Hi all,
I am not sure if my problem is specific to HP-UX or not. Hopefully someone can tell me what's wrong.
I have a server name server1 10.100.50.10 in the /etc/hosts file and if I do a ping server1, it shows the right IP address.
However, if I run telnet server1, it is not using 10.100.50.10 but the one that is on the DNS server. Can someone please advise if this is the "normal" or expected behavior of telnet? Is there something that I have to do to force telnet to resolve the name using the /etc/hosts file first instead of the DNS server?
FYI, I checked the /etc/nsswitch.conf and I do not have uncommented entries there which means it is not used. I have the /etc/resolv.conf file but I presume that the order of name resolution is the /etc/hosts first and then /etc/resolv.conf, is this a wrong assumption?
Any advise will be very much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

NAME
asadmin-restart-instance, restart-instance - restarts the specified server instance and all the services associated with it
SYNOPSIS
restart-instance [--user admin_user] [--password admin_password] [--host localhost] [--port 4848] [--local=false] [--domain domain_name]
[--passwordfile filename] [--secure|-s]instance_name
Use the restart-instance to restart the instance with the instance name specified. The restart-instance command can be run both locally and
remotely. To restart remotely, the administration server must be running on the hostname and port number specified. The user authenticates
using the password identified for the administration server. Additionally, the instance must already exist within the domain served by the

OPTIONS
--user administrative user associated for the instance.
--password administrative password corresponding to the administrative user.
--host host name of the machine hosting the administrative instance.
--port administrative port number associated with the administrative host.
--local determines if the command should delegate the request to administrative instance or run locally.
--domain name of the domain.
--passwordfile file containing passwords appropriate for the command (e.g., administrative instance).
--secure if true, uses SSL/TLS to communicate with the administrative instance.
OPERANDS
instance_name name of the instance to be restarted.
Example 1: Using restart-instance in local mode
asadmin> restart-instance --local --domain domain1 server1
Instance server1 started
Where: server1 is the name of the instance restarted on the domain1 domain.
Example 2: Using restart-instance in remote mode
asadmin> restart-instance --user admin --password adminadmin --host bluestar --port 4848 server1

specified.
