Yeah; but why not just a bunch of commands, some of which are expected to work on any particular machine, and save the whole output as a single string? It's not very clean, but should get the important details. To support a "new machine," just add more commands to the script. A simple version of this, based on your Mark 0, could be: uname -a $CC --version $CC -V $CC -v ls -l /lib/libc.so* No need to comment/uncomment anything. -- Alvaro Herrera http://www.CommandPrompt.com/ The PostgreSQL Company - Command Prompt, Inc. ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 3: Have you checked our extensive FAQ? http://www.postgresql.org/docs/faq
