Detecting remote systems operating system

Post by Carl Traenkn » Thu, 02 Dec 1993 05:43:16



I need to be able to detect a remote systems operating system.  

Is there a magic command that I can't find that will do this.

Currently I need only to know sun, vms, cray and ultrix.

If you have an account on it, run uname on it (or rsh host uname)

If you don't or don't want to login/rsh to it, you could try sending the SYST
command to the ftp server on that machine. May or may not work.

You managed to contradict yourself in the span of three sentences.

I see, you're trying to rationalize the OS/2 PPC support by saying it was
really for the hardware, not the software.  Typical wriggling and squirming.

Irrelevant; ongoing support doesn't require a current product offering, and
that was hardware, not software.
