Version of Unix

[spinik]

How do I extract the Unix version I am using (both OS and release number)?

Thanks,

I like oslevel -r Einstein47

I was actually looking for the command that would give me:

AIX

for the operating sustem and

4.3.3

for the version.

Have you tried uname? This returns AIX for me.

And oslevel without any parameters yeilds 4.3.3.0 for me. I think that is as close as you will get. Einstein47

uname -a will give you:
AIX Saturn 3 4 006030704C00

Where each field is:
(OS) (hostname) (release) (level machine ID number)

OS - hostname - release - version - machine ID number

uname and oslevel are exactly what I was looking for. Thanks to all that spent the time to answer my question.
