Unix Version

[Patrick_85]

Can someone tell me what command to issue to find out what version of Unix is installed?

Thank you

[Paul Sperry]

uname -a

Hi Patrick

Try uname -a this should give you the following
"HP-UX hostname B.10.20 A 9000/785 2010046111 two-user license"

this will give you the release level that you are running

You can also run print_manifest or go into SAM and Performance Monitors and System Properties.

Hello!

It's uname -a (as always ;))

You may check the unix version:
# uname -a
Remember to find out the patch level too:
# swlist -l bundle |grep -E 'XSW|HWE|QPK'

uname -a

Hi,

It's best and most easy command to excute 'uname -a" for showing up hp-ux's version on your system.

have a good day!

[Sylvain CROUET]

uname -a is the best and simplest way and you can get other informations (license level, node name, hardware model...)

I don't mean to sound to judgmental - evry community has its rules - but I find very odd the way various grown up so called skilled gurus turn to be a point greeding child on the forum, repeating ad libitum the same damn simple command just to get the point.
Is this forum about to share experiences, help other or just a "I want the point" thing. If so, you're just fooling youself.

Dumeige:

I don't understand why are you so worried about that. In my personal oppinion, I will like to get a lot of help than nothing at all. You have to realize that we do this for fun and if someone is putting his/her time and effort to help others well lets them do it. On the other hand, points are optional. Even the users that never assign any points get some kind of help here. That's what's all about.

Sorry, I couldn't resist.

Regards,

Dario

Dumeige,

OK, first of all, examine the times for the initial rounds of postings on this question (14:07 - 14:21). This is typical of the first burst of responses to a posting, when the responder sees the question, performs some research and possibly some testing, then writes his / her answer and submits it. As we can see, this can take 7-14 mins. This is unavoidable, given the time a careful person will take to ensure the answer is valid and useful. Notice that many people will reply to a vague question with a request for more information before posting any answers.

The second round of answers is a reaction to the lack of points in the first round (14:29 onwards), the reason being that the User perhaps has not assigned 10 points because a) they did not understand the answers, or b) the postings did not fully answer the question. Almost all of these postings have some different method of finding the information, or an opinion on the best solution (always valuable), or some small piece of humour. So they are all concerned with adding value to the solution, which is (of course) measured in points.

In response to points allocation, yes there is healthy competition, as the more points one person accumulates, the more professional and competent they are seen to be (This isn't a bad thing). However, any postings disagreements about points allocations, solutions to problems and forum ettiquette (and there are many) are constructive, non-personal and non-threatening. Lets be honest, your posting above is none of these things.

I suggest that once you have made a few more contributions to the Forums, you will better understand the issues we encounter and the levels of acceptance for those issues.

Some members of this community did get the meaning of my previous post. That's obviously not your case.

Reading the two previous post, I get that the point attribution is some kind of taboo or and that it's pointless to discuss it with an ITRC nobody ; Gosh, I'm so pride to be just that.
Indeed, I fail to understand how points gained with overwhelming questions like :
"How old are you?" or
"How did you crash the box the last time?" or
"Congratulations to our new ???"
make the difference between the vulgar and the cream of system administration.
They seem more like attendance fee, don't they?

The minute one before you understood that points can be given and gained from one to another (what could have been describe as easy money if it wasn't made of vacuum), that very minute marks the fall of that healthy competition you're talking about. What is left of it, all the good stuff I read on this forum, is somewhat contaminated by that nasty messing with score.

Dario remembers it's a game, but you're deep in wonderland Wizard of Oz-ux. There lies the cause of your make up of the truth. That's why you have chosen to become the herault of the points greedy.

Be assured of my ampathy, best regards,

Nicolas

Ok now for my shillings worth :-)

Whildt I agree with some of the statements regarding the allocation of points for some of the forum topics can be seen as "easy money" I have to state that points system is used to provide a quick lookup for IRTC users to see if the answer has resulted in a true fix.

If the answer has fixed the problem then asigning 10 poits invokes the magic rabbit which then shows that the problem is now fixed, if this had been done in this instance perhaps there would not have been as may repetative answers posted to this question.

Ok rant over, have a good day all

Hi,

You can find your operating system release by issuing the command:

uname -r

this will return B.XX.XX where XX.XX is your operating system release.
