What script? /bin/domainname is not a script, but a binary. And it's

Gentoo call domainname. One of this ways is setting up /etc/conf.d/net.

OK, it's a binary rather than a script. 'Scuse my sloppyness.
No problem.
Apparently you mean that the hostname/domainname, etc. done with the
binary is gone on reboot (which I do very seldom, so I hadn't noticed)
Yes, of course. In general, no unix command modifies configuration files.
That's, in general, done with an editor.
I didn't think you had to run it manually unless you want to. Can't you
call if from
/etc/conf.d/local.start
Sure, but why do that? Why not use the mechanisms, that Gentoo
forsees for this?
I thought that was the purpose of that file, to run stuff you want to on
bootup.
That's not how I see the file. For me, the file is there to do stuff,
for which there's no "proper" way.
