Alright...

tar ztvf:

drwxr-xr-x 0/0 0 2011-07-26 17:20:44 FMS_4_0_3_r4011/conf/_defaultRoot_/
drwxr-xr-x 0/0 0 2011-07-26 16:51:28 FMS_4_0_3_r4011/conf/_defaultRoot_/_defaultVHost_/
-rw-r--r-- 0/0 43801 2011-07-26 16:51:28 FMS_4_0_3_r4011/conf/Logger.xml
-rw-r--r-- 0/0 46191 2011-07-26 16:51:28 FMS_4_0_3_r4011/conf/Server.xml

I only want:

FMS_4_0_3_r4011

So whatever release it is, I need to grab that name as a variable for installation work. Their installation stuff is crappy.

pmconfig

PMCONFIG(1)						      General Commands Manual						       PMCONFIG(1)

NAME

       pmconfig - Performance Co-Pilot configuration parameters

SYNOPSIS

       $PCP_BINADM_DIR/pmconfig [-a|-l] [-L] [-s] [name ...]

DESCRIPTION

       pmconfig displays the values for some or all configuration parameters of the local Performance Co-Pilot toolkit installation.

       The  -L	option	may be used to change the default reporting mode so that the capabilities of the PCP library are reported, rather than the
       PCP environment.

       In the default operating mode, pmconfig is often used in conjunction with the $PCP_DIR environment variable to setup scripts running  under
       the Windows operating system, where the filesystem hierarchy is very different to the of Linux/UNIX-based operating systems.

PCP ENVIRONMENT

       Environment  variables  with  the prefix PCP_ are used to parameterize the file and directory names used by PCP.  On each installation, the
       file /etc/pcp.conf contains the local values for these variables.  The $PCP_CONF variable may be used to specify an alternative	configura-
       tion file, as described in pcp.conf(5).

SEE ALSO

       pmGetConfig(3), pcp.conf(5) and pcp.env(5).
