Knowing installed software versions
Hello,

Is there any command or something to know the versions of the softwares installed ?

Similar to the registry in Windows, is there anything in Unix ...?

We are shifting our server to other one ... so we need to install the same versions on other server also ..

Please advice,

Thanks,
- Jay

Use the 'pkginfo' command. The '-l' flag on this command will list installed software in more detail.

Note: this only lists software that has been installed via the 'pkgadd' utility - you need to inspect other filesystems (e.g. /opt) for software that may have been installed via other means (e.g. tar archive).
