why don't you try doing
Code:
echo $lHOSTNAME

. It will give you the servername to which you have logged on.

Hi Kamitsin
thnks for the reply,but what i was looking for was, i need to write a script in which if any other user runs that script,the script must automatically read the /transfer/common/env_params.txt and output the source/host the user is logged on.The host info is on /transfer/common/env_params.txt
