I asked recently about using /etc/redhat-release and got some useful answers.
My thanks to all who replied.
Now a slight variant:
Can anyone suggest some resource that a PROGRAM (compiled C program) can
examine while running to find out what platform it is runninng on ?
Things that come to mind include:
1. output of uname to see if the kernel version contains "elX" where X
is a digit, such as el4, el5, etc., identifying RHEL-4, RHEL-5, etc.
2. do the same thing by exmining the filename of the kernel (if I knew
how to find the file for the currently running kernel, that is.
can anyone suggest any other checks I could do?
Thanks again!
