- I need a way to find out the version of the operating system on an AIX
- system, for example, "3.1.5" or "3.2.1". Currently, I can get the first
- two numbers using the "uname" command, for example:
-
- example% echo "`uname -v`.`uname -r`"
-
- gives: 3.1
-
- But how do I find out the last digit (the sub-release)? uname doesn't
- have any options to print it, and I can't find any references in the
- info pages.
-
- Thanks for your help.
