Top Forums UNIX for Advanced & Expert Users A script to detect system type Post 303011823 by rbatte1 on Wednesday 24th of January 2018 05:02:05 AM

Might I also suggest a case statement rather that if...then...elif...then...elif...then...elif...then...fi

Perhaps this might be neater:-
Code:
case "${OSType1}" in
   Linux)      echo "This is Linux"     ;;
   SunOS)      echo "This is Solaris"   ;;
   HP-UX)      echo "This is HPUX"      ;;
   AIX)        echo "This is the best." ;;
   *)          echo "This in unknown"   ;;
esac

You can add more statements between each choice. The last statement to be run for each choice ends in ;; and esac ends the whole case statement.



I hope that this helps,
Robin
