Hi, Is there anyway to find what version of a software is installed on a particular box? For Tru64 unix, the setld -i command lists all the software that is installed. But how do i get the version? Is there a unix command for this? Is setld specific to Tru64? Do reply VJ (1 Reply). 5.11 In this example, the version shown is Oracle Solaris 11 (5.11). If necessary, refer to your operating system documentation for information about upgrading the operating system.

There is no portable way to know what Operating System is running.
Depending on the OS,
uname -s will tell you what kernel you are running but not necessarily what OS.
Moreover, it cannot be SunOS or Unix or Solaris. Solaris is all of them: both a Unix compliant OS and an OS based on the SunOS kernel.
One of these might give you a precise answer depending on the Unix or Linux implementation:

The OpenSolaris distro identified itself in /etc/release, as did Solaris Express - neither has existed or been supported in years though, so checking for them is not really relevant today. Also, only a development version of SunOS 5.11 was ever released as OpenSolaris - if uname reports SunOS 5.10, it is the Solaris 10 release that predates OpenSolaris.
As an example, OpenSolaris 2009.06 had this in /etc/release:
Feb 22, 2005 Download Windows XP Professional and Office 2003 Professional: Better Together from Official Microsoft Download Center Surface Book 2 Powerhouse performance in the ultimate laptop. Microsoft office 2003 pro download.
And Solaris 11 Express 2010.11 had this in /etc/release:

From here, I see you could also issue RameshRamesh
showrev command to find out the version.
