Checking the name of the host Operating System

[Sonny Chee]

Hey Guys,

Anyone know how I can determine the name of the host operating system
from within Ruby?

Hey Guys,

Anyone know how I can determine the name of the host operating system
from within Ruby?
Sure:

RUBY_PLATFORM => "i686-darwin8.8.1"
require "rbconfig" => false
Config::CONFIG["target"] => "i686-apple-darwin8.8.1"
Config::CONFIG["arch"] => "i686-darwin8.8.1"
Config::CONFIG["target_os"]

=> "darwin8.8.1"

Hope that helps.
