Everything works ok (sysctl kernel.hostname give the new hostname) but the cron which is trying to send emails to the old hostname and I get a lot of email notifications. How do cron access for hostname (I do not see this in man pages)? I've checked for any env. variables and there is nothing what contains my old hostname. I also made grep -r oldhostname in \etc directory (a desperaccy act) and I do not find my old hostname. Thanks for any help. I had to change my host name, and I followed these instructions.
