I'm sure that there's no truly foolproof way to get your RedHat version, but consider:
sh-2.05b$ cat /etc/redhat-release Red Hat Linux release 8.0 (Psyche) -That file is a text file...suppose somebody decides to be funny and edits it to say "Microsoft Windows 2000..." sh-2.05b$ cat /proc/version Linux version 2.4.18-18.8.0 ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) (gcc version 3.2 20020903 (Red Hat Linux 8.0 3.2-7)) #1 Thu Nov 14 00:10:29 EST 2002 -I'm assuming this only works if you have a RedHat supplied kernel for your distribution So I submit this way: sh-2.05b$ rpm -q redhat-release redhat-release-8.0-8 -Steve -----Original Message----- From: Binyon Steve Contr Det 4 AFC2TIG/ASRCC [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, November 19, 2002 9:31 AM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: RE: how to get the system version?
