Title: What version am I using
Post by: mike_mattos on February 06, 2004, 08:36:41 PM

Is there a way to query a system ( 5.5 or 6.0 )  to determine the version?  I've got systems that I think are updated , but how do you confirm it ?

thx

From http://www.tech-geeks.org/article.php?story=20021121163131741

To see the version of your server, first login to the console. Then, type the following command:
- "/sbin/e-smith/db configuration show sysconfig"

Here's an example:
[root@filter e-smith]# /sbin/e-smith/db configuration show sysconfig
sysconfig=configuration
KeyboardType=pc
Keytable=us
Language=en_US
ReleaseVersion=5.5

If you only want to obtain the version number (to use in a script, for exemple) :

Code: [Select]

/sbin/e-smith/db configuration getprop sysconfig ReleaseVersion
You can also try :

Code: [Select]

cat /etc/e-smith-release

Only rpm -q SMEServer provides the sub release, my SME 6 is actually 6.0-04, I believe this is the December final release kit.

I can't be sure, but it seems that is the latest iso image.  

I'm trying to get VPN and MYSQL ( via internet ) to work, with limited success, is it safe to use the candidate kit?

thx

these commands do not show the correct version.

i did the update6 to SME 5.6 and i get:
ReleaseVersion=5.6 Update4-02

how i did the update :
copy all update6-files to a folder on the server
cd to that folder
rpm -Uvh --replacepkgs *.rpm
/sbin/e-smith/signal-event post-upgrade
/sbin/e-smith/signal-event reboot

why does update6 not change the release?
how can i change the release manually?

found a solution (quick and dirty):
changed "/etc/e-smith-release" by hand.
and "/sbin/e-smith/db configuration setprop sysconfig ReleaseVersion V5.6 Update6"

but why is this not done by update6?
