I found that the information is saved "nested" in two .plist files, if it was not nested then a simple "defaults write" command would do that. What I am looking for specifically is an shell command that can replace a string of text in a file, or if you know of another way!


You can use scutil to do this:

sudo scutil --set ComputerName thenewname
sudo scutil --set LocalHostName thenewname

We actually have a startup script on all our machines which sets this to be the same as the domain name.

If you're running 10.2, there's this little tool I wrote a while ago which does the same thing.

http://staff.cofa.unsw.edu.au/~nigelkersten/people/sw/ setnetworkname.html

Either run it as:
setnetworkname -h

 to set the name to the first segment of the hostname, or
setnetworkname networkname


scutil doesn't seem to have a man page, but here is the help.

nigelkersten@jitter:~ $ scutil --help
