Perhaps you can use this information to help: In the "Condition" task one of the supported conditions is "os".
os: Test whether the current operating system is of a given type. Each defined attribute is tested and the result is true only if all the tests succeed. family : The name of the operating system family to expect. name : The name of the operating system to expect. arch : The architecture of the operating system to expect. version : The version of the operating system to expect. Perhaps "family" is what you are looking for. Families can be unix or windows. You do not need to specify exactly what the OS is for each windows or unix variant. -- Kris On Thu, 28 Oct 2004 18:45:04 -0500, Satish Jeejula <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi All, > > I am trying to write a target that calls an different executable > depending upon the operating system it is running on.
