To be precise

uname -n

is what POSIX defines to be somewhat related to the question (BTW: this has nothing to do with the user or shell), but I'd guess that uname is rarely used for that purpose - the most commonly used tool for that purpose is probably

hostname

Speaking of shells - some systems/shells define the $HOSTNAME variable, but I would not rely on it since it doesn't change when switching networks.

Cheers,
Simon
