How to recognize OS version?

Hi, All.

How to recognize HP-UX OS version?
For example, some machine is install on HP-UX 11.0 ACE 9911 or older version.

Is the "uname" command useful to show HP-UX OS verison.

And current L-class, V-class is install on HP-UX 11.0 ACE 9911, right?

More newest HP-UX 11.00 version available on L-class machine?
Thanks for any help...

Hi:

# uname -r

will return the current OS release level.

See man pages for uname.

Yeap, "uname -a" should show you the OS version and few other pieces of information as well. (and "model" would show you the machine model as well)

How about swlist?

I think that we can get more acurate OS information.

Hi:

Yes, I also view swlist as valuable. Once I have used uname to get the basic OS version, I might do:

# swlist|grep -i -e "extension" -e "general release"

This would give me a few lines quickly which would indicate the level (and date) of the standard, general release (old "Extension") someone had loaded.
