@Bill,
Shouldn't that be "10.6" ?
As you've given it, it returns: cat.
But if I change the script to this:
#!/bin/sh
f=`sw_vers -productVersion`
if [ "10.6" = ${f%.*} ]; then
echo 'lion'
else
echo 'cat'
fi
echo dollar-f $f
echo dollar-f-part ${f%.*}
...here's what I get back:
bash-3.2$ ~/tryme
lion
dollar-f 10.6.5
dollar-f-part 10.6
