One Day One GNU/Linux Command ============================= hostid - Print the numeric id for the host.
Summary: It will print a 32-bit hexadecimal numerical identifier for the host machine. Certain product registration procedures use this number to brand a particular user license. The 32-bit quantity happens to be closely related to the system's IP address, but that isn't always the case. If your IP address is 192.168.14.155 then your hostid is A8C09B0E. A8 -- 168 C0 -- 192 9B -- 155 0E -- 14 Example: $ hostid -- Print the hostid of the current host.
