List, I am writing a shell script that performs different tasks based on the distribution, distro version, and architecture of the machine. I was wondering if anybody had any surefire ways to perform this function. I know you could do this by parsing the default /etc/issue, a combination of uname parameters, etc. Red Hat has /etc/redhat-release, etc. There are a number of things that you could derive distribution information from. I'm just looking for the most common, easiest-to-use indicators. SLES9/10 and RHEL3/4 are most important. -- Shawn Hood (910) 670-1819 Mobile -- TriLUG mailing list : http://www.trilug.org/mailman/listinfo/trilug TriLUG Organizational FAQ : http://trilug.org/faq/ TriLUG Member Services FAQ : http://members.trilug.org/services_faq/
