    Typing in this command from the prompt.
    echo server1.example.com > /etc/hostname
    /bin/hostname -F /etc/hostname
    We get this in return -bash: /etc/hostname/bin/hostname: Not a directory.

    This are two commands, first type:

    Code:
    echo server1.example.com > /etc/hostname
    hit return, then type:

    Code:
    /bin/hostname -F /etc/hostname
    hit return.
