Another one line command where I'd like to determine if Ubuntu or Red Hat when running command
Hello Forum,
I'm making very good progress on my report thanks to the very helpful people on this forum. I've been able to successfully create my report for my Red Hat servers. But I do have a few ubuntu servers in the mix and I'd like to capture some data from them when an ssh connection is made.
I have a command here to find the inactive kernels on a Red Hat VM:
I'm trying to get this one line command to be Linux Type aware by issuing something like the following where if the os-release is Red Hat then I issue the command above to find the Red Hat installed kernels. This isn't working but this is what I'm trying to do:
I'm not sure if it's even possible but I would really like to issue the command to find the installed kernels for Red Hat servers and if the servers are ubuntu then issue another command for Ubuntu inactive kernels. I'm not sure what the command is to find the Ubuntu inactive kernels so I'll look that up...but for this post could someone point me in the right direction here on how to write the one line command to check for O/S type and issue commands based on that type.

chkfontpath
CHKFONTPATH(8) Red Hat, Inc. CHKFONTPATH(8)NAME
chkfontpath - simple interface for adding, removing, and listing directories in the X font server's path
SYNOPSIS
chkfontpath [-lqfh] [-a name of directory to add] [-r name of directory to remove]
DESCRIPTION
chkfontpath provides a simple method of configuring the directories contained in the X font server's path. As of Red Hat 6.0, all fonts in
X are served via this separate font server process, not through the main X server process. This speeds up font rendering, and also allows
use of font servers which are not running on the local host.
chkfontpath is mainly used by rpm in its %post and %postun sections to add and remove new directories to the server's config file at
installation and de-installation time of packages containing fonts.
-a, --add=name of directory to add
Add a directory to the font path.
-r, --remove=name of directory to remove
Remove a directory from the font path.
-l, --list
List all directories in the font path.
-q, --quiet
Quiet operation; don't display any output to the screen, even when there is an error during operation.
-f, --first
Requires usage of the add command; puts the specified directory first in the font path, rather than last.
-h, --help
Show detailed help on the command line.
When directories are added to the path, some sanity checking is performed to make sure you are not adding a directory without the file
fonts.dir contained in it, which the server needs to be able to render fonts properly. When a path is succesfully added or removed, the
xfs process is restarted if it is currently running.
RETURN CODES
chkfontpath returns 0 on success, or 1 on error.
FILES
/etc/X11/fs/config
Configuration file for the X font server (xfs).
