On Dells running CentOS 6, we could use this command ipmitool delloem lcd set mode userdefined "$(uname -n | sed -e 's/..*//' )" to set the little LCD screen to display the system name, In the latest sevens, it fails, and gives me usage for the command... which displays exactly that syntax.
Anyone have a clue?

In 6.7 in virtualbox, when I do uname -a I see:
Linux localhost.localdomain 2.6.32-642.el6.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue May 10 17:27:01 UTC 2016 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Then I run your command:
echo $(uname -n | sed -e 's/..*//' )
and see:
localhost
On 7.2 on virutalbox I see this:
$ uname -a Linux c7-vm 3.10.0-327.18.2.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Thu May 12 11:03:55 UTC 2016 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
$ echo $(uname -n | sed -e 's/..*//' ) c7-vm
You have a typo in your script actual typed text??

What do you get if you put "echo" before "ipmitool" to see the whole command instead of executing it?
Have you tried running it with a literal name for testing?
And instead of munging the output of uname, you can just do $(hostname -s)
