I suppose with hindsight you could have installed them in appropriate directories with the version number as part of the path, but if the firefox executable has to be in your PATH, try changing your PATH to the required 'inactive' directory and running the same. Does that help?
Alternatively, you might be able to force the command like this:-
Does that help?

I took this responsibility from someone else because we don't think it was being mirrored correctly. Maybe some more details will help. I have a machine that I install updates or new applications and test to ensure it is secure and the software still works. Whenever I have the thumbs up to move it over to the other network, I make a tarball of the not active OS path and untar the overlay of the OS to the new machine on the other network. So that it can be tested with out software.
I know I could just take this over add the overlay of the OS and then do -version however, I have restrictions on what I can and cannot take over there without proper authority. Is there a file that I can look into to see version numbers? I did find compatibility.ini but that only tells me last version compatible.

Hello,
I am trying to find out how to determine which firefox thread is connected to what site. Using:
top -H
shows the threads but not what they are connected to. The purpose of this is that some sites run nasty cpu eating programs and trying to figure out which ones.
Thanks,

In Solaris 10 it was easy, a simple grep through modinfo output and you'd have the version of any loaded module, including your NIC drivers. In my career I've seen many people relying on this information in their scripts. Now I'm on Solaris 11, and where have the version numbers gone? The... (0 Replies)

showrev
showrev(1M)showrev(1M)NAME
showrev - show machine, software revision, and patch revision information
SYNOPSIS
/usr/bin/showrev [-a] [-p | -p -R root_path] [-w] [-c command] [-s hostname]
showrev displays revision information for the current hardware and software. With no arguments, showrev shows the system revision informa-
tion including hostname, hostid, release, kernel architecture, application architecture, hardware provider, domain, and kernel version.
If a command is supplied with the -c option, showrev shows the PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH and finds out all the directories within the PATH
that contain it. For each file found, its file type, revision, permissions, library information, and checksum are printed as well.
The following options are supported:
-a Print all system revision information available. Window system and patch information are added.
-c command Print the revision information about command.
-p Print only the revision information about patches.
-R root_path Define the full path name of a directory to use as the root_path. By specifying the root path, showrev retrieves the revi-
sion information about the patch from package system information files located under a directory tree starting at
root_path. The root_path can be specified when retrieving installed patch information in a client from a server, for exam-
ple, /export/root/client1.
Note - The root file system of any non-global zones must not be referenced with the -R option. Doing so might damage the
global zone's file system, might compromise the security of the global zone, and might damage the non-global zone's
file system. See zones(5).
-s hostname Perform this operation on the specified hostname. The -s operation completes correctly only when hostname is running
Solaris 2.5 or compatible versions.
-w Print only the OpenWindows revision information.
OUTPUT
Varies, based on flags passed. If no flags are passed, output similar to the following appears:
Hostname: system1
Hostid: 7233808e
Release: 5.10
Kernel architecture: sun4u
Application architecture: sparc
Hardware provider: Sun_Microsystems
Domain: a.network.COM
Kernel version: SunOS 5.10 generic
The following error values are returned:
0 Successful completion.
>0 An error occurred.

For the -s option to work when hostname is running a version of Solaris prior to 2.5, the Solstice AdminSuite must be installed on host-
name.
