Hmm, the same happens for me. Perhaps $HOSTNAME is null until polled, so
it is generated upon request by the command line call?
One possible workaround is to set an env variable right before launching
chuck, eg:
NETNAME="$HOSTNAME" chuck myfile.ck
and access Std.getenv("NETNAME") in your code.
I wasn't aware of setenv or getenv before. Did getenv("HOSTNAME") work
in the past?

Hey Chuckians…
Question for those who use Std.setenv(). I’m trying to resurrect some
old code of mine that made use of a special environment variable we
used to use in plork to identify machines over the network. In short:
this was a variable we called “NET_NAME”, in which we specified the
network name address (i.e. blah.local) on our local area wireless network.
What I’m wondering is this: in UNIX, there is usually a variable
already in existence called “HOSTNAME”. For example, on my mac, when
I type “echo $HOSTNAME” in the terminal, it returns a string that
contains the name of my machine with .local appended to it.
However, when I try to recall this variable using Std.setenv(), I get
nothing.
Anyone have any ideas here?
