Hey Chuckians… Question for those who use Std.setenv(). I’m trying to resurrect some old code of mine that made use of a special environment variable we used to use in plork to identify machines over the network. In short: this was a variable we called “NET_NAME”, in which we specified the network name address (i.e. blah.local) on our local area wireless network. What I’m wondering is this: in UNIX, there is usually a variable already in existence called “HOSTNAME”. For example, on my mac, when I type “echo $HOSTNAME” in the terminal, it returns a string that contains the name of my machine with .local appended to it. However, when I try to recall this variable using Std.setenv(), I get nothing. Anyone have any ideas here? —ss [ - ] Scott Smallwood http://www.scott-smallwood.com/ - Associate Professor - University of Alberta [ - ]
