a few places to look: "hostname" in [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ in bash prompt. or 'echo $HOSTNAME' (this is very useful) or 'grep 127.0.0.1 /etc/hosts', this will give you all valid hostnames for your loopback address
James Not sure what how it's being used in your instance, since I haven't messed with MythWeather, but in some instances it's useful to use the $HOSTNAME variable rather than use the actual hostname explicitly. That way if you ever change the hostname for what ever reason, you won't have to go through and manually edit settings in different places. Again, not sure how it's being used here, so a shell variable may not work.
