Augusto Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 I am using DeltaTau with dualcore ARM processor, FW version: 2.6.0.0, PowerPMAC IDE: 4.4.1.7. I am trying to set the default hostname for each of DeltaTau we have in our installations. I the previous ones we have (fw 2.5.4.0 and apm866xx processor), we edit the following file: - /opt/etc/hostname At the boot time, this file is copied to /etc/hostname and the service hostname.sh get started, updating the DeltaTau hostname. In the new ARM DeltaTaus, if we edit the same file, it behaves in a different way. At boot time, the file is copied to /etc/hostname, but it looks like the hostname.sh service does not get started. If I manually start it trough ssh command line, the hostname gets updated. As I want to get this process automatically, the only way I got it working for now was to edit the following file: - /.readonly/etc/hostname And the service is not needed to start. Is there a way to make the service automatically start at boot time so I don't need to edit the .readonly folder? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omron Forums Support Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 If the hostname task were continually running, it would set the hostname based on /opt/etc/hostname (after that replaces /etc/hostname which had already been replaced by /.readonly/etc/hostname). We have have disabled it due to a past issue. Currently the name in /.readonly/hostname "wins" on boot if it is different from the name in /opt/etc/hostname. I would recommend changing both values so a future change or running /etc/init.d/hostname.sh will not change your behavior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Augusto Posted March 11, 2021 Author Share Posted March 11, 2021 Ok Eric! That's well noted. Thanks again for your help! Are there release notes for each firmware version somewhere? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
