Hi Shabbir,
The article was good and I really don't know about this..

Actually my usecase is something like, we work on linux sys., but some time s we need to work on Solaris.. we know only the servers name and by using telnet we connect to the server. By seeing the name of teh machine we can't know it's OS, so will there be any command or any location in file system will tell us which OS it has?

Regards,
Sharmila.

It would depend on OS to OS and you probably need to get the list of commands supported by the OS.

type the command

uname -a
