Which command is used to set the hostname of the local system? (Specify only the command without any path or parameters.)
The command to set the hostname of the local system is 'hostname'. This command allows you to both display and set the system's hostname. However, note that if you want to permanently change the hostname on a modern system using systemd, 'hostnamectl' with the 'set-hostname' parameter might be more appropriate. Without additional context or parameters, 'hostname' is the direct answer to the question.
I took my exam today and I answer "systemctl" Passed with 800/800 (100% correct)
How change with "systemctl" bro
Congrats bro. I'll take the exam in 3 weeks. I haven't almost found test exams to practice in Google. How did you got ready to take it?
There is no way to set the hostname via systemctl, check the command line options for systemctl, hostname isn't mentioned. The answer is absolutely hostnamectl. don't speared misinformation
you're right
The only way a ctl is involved with changing hostname is through: ~]# hostnamectl set-hostname name
Anche hostnamectl lo fa [con meno sethostname
Using the hostnamectl is a better and permanent choice, but for name change is needed the sub-command "set-hostname" or "hostname" following the command. example: TestVM@Ubuntu-VM:~$ hostnamectl set-hostname TestVM2 this other form is accepted TestVM@Ubuntu-VM:~$ hostnamectl hostname TestVM3 So we will enter two command followed by an argument. MAN page for hostnamectl: HOSTNAMECTL(1) hostnamectl HOSTNAMECTL(1) NAME hostnamectl - Control the system hostname SYNOPSIS hostnamectl [OPTIONS...] {COMMAND} DESCRIPTION hostnamectl may be used to query and change the system hostname and related settings.

The command is "hostname". Its required root permissions. hostname new-hostname
you can also use the hostname command to display the current hostname of the system. However, if you want to set the hostname, you should use hostnamectl on modern systems and hostname on older systems with the following syntax For modern systems: hostnamectl set-hostname new-hostname For older systems: hostname new-hostname note that in the original question, the command to set the hostname is requested, so in this case, the most appropriate command would be hostnamectl.
Both hostname and hostname can set the hostname so why ask for one command? How are users supposed to 'guess' what command they had in mind? Anyway, from manual pages: # man hostname When called with one argument or with the --file option, the commands set the host name or the NIS/YP domain name. hostname uses the sethostname(2) function, while all of the three domainname, ypdomainname and nisdomainname use setdomainname(2). Note, that this is effective only until the next reboot. Edit /etc/hostname for permanent change. # man hostnamectl set-hostname NAME Set the system hostname to NAME.

Most of all Linux systems run on systemd , the answer is hostnamectl with the set-hostname option which will change the contents of the /etc/hostname file which defines the hostname of the machine.
