Something like this then.

Code:
# early on in the script
uname=$(uname)

# now whenever you need to branch
case $uname in
  AIX)  do aix stuff
        do some more aix stuff;;
  Solaris)
        do solaris stuff;;
esac
You will probably want to experiment a bit with a suitable uname string. I'm guessing it might be uppercase AIX and proper-case Solaris but I don't have easy access to either system to check this.
