hostconfig(1M) System Administration Commands hostconfig(1M)NAME
hostconfig - configure a system's host parameters
SYNOPSIS
/usr/sbin/hostconfig -p protocol [-d] [ -h] [-n] [-v]
[-i interface] [-f hostname]
DESCRIPTION
The hostconfig program uses a network protocol to acquire a machine's host parameters and set these parameters on the system.
The program selects which protocol to use based on the argument to the required -p flag. Different protocols may set different host param-
eters. Currently, only one protocol (bootparams) is defined.
OPTIONS
The following options are supported:
-d Enable debug output.
-f hostname Run the protocol as if this machine were named hostname.
-h Echo the received hostname to stdout, rather than setting hostname using the system name directly.
-i interface Use only the named network interface to run the protocol.
-n Run the network protocol, but do not set the acquired parameters into the system.
-p protocol Run hostconfig using protocol. Currently, only one protocol (bootparams) is available. This option is required.
Specifying the -p bootparams option uses the whoami call of the RPC bootparams protocol. This sets the system's hostname,
domainname, and default IP router parameters.
-v Enable verbose output.
EXAMPLES
Example 1 Configuring Host Parameters with Verbose Output
The following command configures a machine's host parameters using the whoami call of the RPC bootparams protocol with a verbose output.
example# hostconfig -p bootparams -v
Example 2 Displaying Host Parameters
The following command displays the parameters that would be set using the whoami call of the RPC bootparams protocol.
example# hostconfig -p bootparams -n -v
Example 3 Configuring Host Parameters Less the System Name
The following command configures a machine's host parameters, less the system name, using the whoami call of the RPC bootparams protocol.
example# hostconfig='hostconfig -p bootparams -h'

What is the point of this? Whenever I close my shell it appends to the history file without adding this. I have never seen it overwrite my history file.
# When the shell exits, append to the history file instead of overwriting it

Greetings,
I'm trying to delete a file with a weird name from within Terminal on a Mac.
It's a very old file (1992) with null characters in the name: ââWord FinderÂŽ Plusâ˘.
Here are some examples of what I've tried:
12FX009:5 dpontius$ ls
ââWord FinderÂŽ Plusâ˘
12FX009:5 dpontius$ rm... (29 Replies)
