STAF provides a system variable named STAF/Config/OS/Name that provides
the operating system name. You could simply resolve that STAF variable
using the STAF VAR service. For example:
C:\>STAF targetMachine VAR RESOLVE STRING {STAF/Config/OS/Name}
Response
--------
Linux
If you really wanted the output from running command "uname -s" using the
STAF PROCESS service, then an example of the correct request syntax is:
C:\>STAF targetMachine PROCESS START SHELL COMMAND "uname -s" WAIT
RETURNSTDOUT STDERRTOSTDOUT
Response
--------
{
Return Code: 0
Key : <None>
Files : [
{
Return Code: 0
Data : Linux
}
]
}
You need to use the WAIT option on the PROCESS START request to run the
command synchronously (to wait for the command to complete) instead of
asynchronously and you need to return stdout/stderr to get the output from
running the "uname -s" comamnd. Note that the result would have to be
unmarshalled to obtain the operating system name from the command's stdout
data.
Instead of using the STAF command line executable as I showed in the
examples above, you can submit STAF service requests via a Perl program
using STAF Perl APIs. If you want to submit STAF service requests like
these via a Perl program, I suggest that you use the STAF Perl APIs
instead of the system() command. See the STAF Perl User's Guide at
http://staf.sourceforge.net/current/STAFPerl.htm for more information and
examples of how to register with STAF to create a STAF handle and then use
the STAF handle to submit STAF service requests.
STAF also provides APIs for Java, Python, and Tcl and there are STAF User
Guides for them that are accessible via
http://staf.sourceforge.net/docs.php.

[staf-users] Ho to receive
Hi All.
I want to get target machine OS type by running following perl/staf
command: $ostype=system("staf process start command uname -s");
This command return "0" or other value as task result.
Is there way to get OS type (linux, windows...) as the result of this
command?
Thanks in advanced, Yakov.
