Very Computer

Other than restarting Solaris, is there any way to determine the version
number?  Uname -rv returns only the SunOS version (5.5) but what I am
looking for is a method to determine the Solaris version (2.5, 2.5.1,
2.6, ect.).

Thanks.........BW

Solaris 2.5 or 2.6 is the name for suite of products which includes SunOS
2.5 or SunOS 2.6 , DiskSuite, etc..etc...The OS version is SunOS 2.5 and not
Solaris 2.5.

You might want to try:

$ showrev | grep 'Release'

to get the specific version of Solaris

This was added in one of the HW updates for 2.5.1 (as far as I remember),
i.e. it's not in the original 2.5.1 release or in earlier releases.
