By default, Trixbox installation uses [trixbox1.localdomain] as HOSTNAME, which is also diplayed as shell prompt.
To change this:
[trixbox1.localdomain ~]# sysctl kernel.hostname
kernel.hostname = trixbox1.localdomain
[trixbox1.localdomain ~]# sysctl kernel.hostname=veejansh.ivr
kernel.hostname = veejansh.ivr
You also need to edit your network file to make this change permanent i.e. persistent across reboots.
[veejansh.ivr ~]# vi /etc/sysconfig/netowrk
Here, edit “HOSTNAME” to “veejansh.ivr”, and save the file.
Now, restart your shell and you will have new name for your shell prompt or HOSTNAME. This is applicable to trixbox installations or RedHat/Centos Linux installations.
