[Rd] ID for machine?

[McGehee, Robert]

Not an R function, per se, but
> system("uname -n", intern = TRUE)
returns my computer's network node hostname on both Windows and Linux.

You can use 'uname -a' for more information.

Does R have a function to obtain a name of the machine that it is 
running on?  I'm going to be writing results to a database from several 
different machines, and I'd like to be able to identify where they came 
from.
