Thanks.

Yes, there are 2 ways. The first is to cat /etc/issue and grep.
However, it is common practice for the paranoid to replace
/etc/issue with something that doesn't identify the OS. So, we
can fallback to doing an rpm -qa and grepping for release. This
takes longer but is more likely to be accurate.

Example:

#!/bin/bash
                                                                 
              
# First try the quick test
if [ -f /etc/issue ] ; then
   temp=`cat /etc/issue | grep 'Red Hat'`
   if test ".${temp}" != "." ; then
      echo "This is Red Hat"
      exit 0
   else
      temp=`cat /etc/issue | grep 'andrake'`
      if test ".${temp}" != "." ; then
         echo "This is Mandrake"
         exit 0
      fi
   fi
fi
                                                                 
              
# That didn't work, try the longer test
temp=`rpm -qa | grep release`
if test ".${temp}" = "." ; then
   echo "rpm returned nothing"
else
   u=`echo $temp | grep 'andrake'`
   if test ".${u}" = "." ; then
      u=`echo $temp | grep 'edhat'`
      if test ".${u}" = "." ; then
         echo "Cannot Identify this release"
      else
         echo "This is Red Hat"
      fi
   else
      echo "This is Mandrake"
   fi
fi
                                       
                                         
I don't have a Suse system available to me, but it is rpm based
and should be easily added to the test.

Perfect.

I'll pull the latest and start looking it over.

Thanks,
