by which Cygwin/bash command can I get detailed information about the Operating System, e. g. about the Windows version (XP? SP?)? Trying with the Windows command "ver" I've got the error "-bash: ver: command not found".
'uname' and '/proc/version' show the Windows version number (NT-5.0=2000, 5.1=XP, 5.2=2003, 6.0=Vista) but not the SP version. The 'ver' is a cmd.exe builtin command and can also be run from bash:
$ uname CYGWIN_NT-5.1 $ cat /proc/version CYGWIN_NT-5.1 1.5.25(0.156/4/2) 2008-06-12 19:34 $ cmd /c ver Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600] Hope this helps, Christian -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
