Re: [Ltsp-discuss] Determine Work Station Host Name

[Jim M. <jam@McQuil.Com>]

Serge,

The DISPLAY environment variable will tell you the workstation name.

If you do echo $DISPLAY
you will see something like "ws001:0.0"  you can extract the
hostname from that using awk or cut or a handfull of other
utilities.

Take a look at the LTSP 3.0 documentation for starting
local apps, it shows an example of getting the hostname.

Hope that helps,
