Hello,
Our company uses static IP addresses and static DNS entries. I am attempting to set the network name during boot via reverse DNS lookup. We’re running UMS 6.07.100 and UC5-LX 11.05.133.01.
I found a script that I modified and I believe should work, I have tried it first under Network -> After network DNS and second under Base -> Final initialization command. I have also enabled “Adjust UMS-internal name if network name has changed”.
#!/bin/bash
RENAME=$(dig -x $(hostname -I) +short)
RENAME=${RENAME%%.*}
HOSTNAME=$(hostname)
if [“$RENAME” != “$HOSTNAME”]
then
setparam network.dns.hostname $RENAME
killall postsetupd
write_rmsettings
fi
If I run these commands via the local terminal I have had success, but I have not been able to automate them as of yet. I am new to Igel, am I doing something wrong, is there an easier way?
EDIT:
I also found a setting in the registry that looked promising, network.dns.hostname_dnslookup but haven’t gotten that to work either.
Thanks
Try setting it in Custom CommandsBaseInitialization. That’s where my script runs for renaming devices, and it has worked well. It does require a reboot.
I’ll give it a shot, I was assuming I would have to wait longer for the network to come up and DNS to work.
Moving it to initialization does not appear to have made a difference.
I put your code into a profile. See attached. Reboot needed for it to take after applied to system.
