The following is a demonstration of the uname.d script, Here we run the usual "uname -a" command and compare the output to that given by the uname.d script, # uname -a SunOS jupiter 5.10 Generic i86pc i386 i86pc # ./uname-a.d SunOS jupiter 5.10 Generic i86pc i386 i86pc The output is the same. uname-a.d is intended as a demonstration script, and as a starting point for other scripts.
