+      The <application>NetworkManager</application> tool <application>nmcli</application> can be used to query and set the static host name in the <filename>/etc/hostname</filename> file. Note that at time of writing, changing the host name in this way will not be noticed by <application>hostnamectl</application>.</para>
+      <para>
+      To query the static host name, issue the following command:
+      <screen>~]$&nbsp;<command>nmcli general hostname</command></screen>
+      To set the static host name to <replaceable>my-server</replaceable>, issue the following command as <systemitem class="username">root</systemitem>:
+      <screen>~]#&nbsp;<command>nmcli general hostname <replaceable>my-server</replaceable></command></screen>
+      To force <application>hostnamectl</application> to notice the change in the static host name, restart <systemitem class="daemon">hostnamed</systemitem> as <systemitem class="username">root</systemitem>:
+      <screen>~]#&nbsp;<command>systemctl restart systemd-hostnamed</command></screen>
