Most, if not all binaries will give you some sort of version number and sometimes the patch revision as well.

Try:
$ what /opt/perf/bin/glance

Hi,
Some softwares can tell version by -V or -v options the best is to go through their man pages and other way is to run a command say for sendmail version

what $(which sendmail)

that will give you the sendmail version.

I can't find "what" on my UX 10.20 , is there any other method to check ? thx.

Hi Juno,
If you run glance,the software version are on top of the display.Here are the example from my glance:

B3692A GlancePlus C.02.40.00 18:17:59 server01 9000/859

This is display on the top of glance output.so the software version are 2.40 and my server name are server01.

hope this help.

regards
mB

On your 10.20 system:

$ whereis what (you should get)
what: /usr/bin/what /usr/share/man/man1.Z/what.1

$ /usr/bin/what /opt/perf/bin/glance

By default the 'what' command is part of the Core OS.

Rajeev gave a very good command to find out utility version already:
#what $(which glance)

or you may use swlist to find out version of installed software too:
#swlist -l product |grep -i glance
