good question. i don't know if there is an official interface for doing this. opensolaris hasn't been "arc'd" yet and i'm sure that arc would love to spend a long time debating this issue. :) that said, i think your best bet would be to look at /etc/release. ed _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list [email protected]
