From: Mark Volkmann Date: 2005-07-17T23:17:41+09:00 Subject: get host name How can I get the host name for the machine I'm running on from Ruby code? I don't want to exec a Unix command to do this because I want it to also work under Windows. I want this for building a server URL that I'll be using with drb. I don't want to hardcode a host name. -- R. Mark Volkmann Partner, Object Computing, Inc.
