Title: Is /usr/share/doc/tc/release.txt the most reliable way to determine TC version
Post by: AlabamaPaul on December 30, 2009, 10:08:59 AM

I was wondering if /usr/share/doc/tc/release.txt the is most reliable way to determine TC version running ?

If not, how should I determine the version of TC in use ?

Thanks!

Use 'version' command.

I wasn't aware of version.

But looking at /usr/bin/version, all it does is cat /usr/share/doc/tc/release.txt.

Is the version command the preferred way to access this ?

Either use the version command, or the command "cat /usr/share/doc/tc/release.txt".  The result will be the same.

Thanks!

I just wanted to avoid using a method that was deprecated.
