I'd like to use the current OSX version in a shell script. Anyway of getting it? ie OS X 10.3.8?
Thanks.

Code:
uname -sr

will get you the Darwin Kernel version, and that can usually be translated to something useable with a table... Or you can do a bit more parsing you can use:

Code:
system_profiler -detailLevel -2

Note: I think that somewhere between 10.1 and 10.3 the name and output of this command chanced rather radically... but I don't have that information at my fingertips.

I just found it, thanks. Use: sw_vers

But I was having trouble with all the info in system_profiler and your tip is a great help in another script of mine. Thanks a lot!
