问题
I would like to keep my .bashrc
and .bash_login
files in version control so that I can use them between all the computers I use. The problem is I have some OS specific aliases so I was looking for a way to determine if the script is running on Mac OS X, Linux or Cygwin.
What is the proper way to detect the operating system in a Bash script?
回答1:
I think the following should work. I'm not sure about win32
though.
if [[ "$OSTYPE" == "linux-gnu" ]]; then
# ...
elif [[ "$OSTYPE" == "darwin"* ]]; then
# Mac OSX
elif [[ "$OSTYPE" == "cygwin" ]]; then
# POSIX compatibility layer and Linux environment emulation for Windows
elif [[ "$OSTYPE" == "msys" ]]; then
# Lightweight shell and GNU utilities compiled for Windows (part of MinGW)
elif [[ "$OSTYPE" == "win32" ]]; then
# I'm not sure this can happen.
elif [[ "$OSTYPE" == "freebsd"* ]]; then
# ...
else
# Unknown.
fi

For my .bashrc, I use the following code:
platform='unknown'
unamestr=`uname`
if [[ "$unamestr" == 'Linux' ]]; then
platform='linux'
elif [[ "$unamestr" == 'FreeBSD' ]]; then
platform='freebsd'
fi
Then I do somethings like:
if [[ $platform == 'linux' ]]; then
alias ls='ls --color=auto'
elif [[ $platform == 'freebsd' ]]; then
alias ls='ls -G'
fi
It's ugly, but it works. You may use case
instead of if
if you prefer.
回答3:
The bash manpage says that the variable OSTYPE stores the name of the operation system:
OSTYPE
Automatically set to a string that describes the operating system on which bash is executing. The default is system- dependent.
It is set to linux-gnu
here.
回答4:
$OSTYPE
You can simply use pre-defined $OSTYPE
variable e.g.:
case "$OSTYPE" in
solaris*) echo "SOLARIS" ;;
darwin*) echo "OSX" ;;
linux*) echo "LINUX" ;;
bsd*) echo "BSD" ;;
msys*) echo "WINDOWS" ;;
*) echo "unknown: $OSTYPE" ;;
esac
However it's not recognized by the older shells (such as Bourne shell).
uname
Another method is to detect platform based on uname
command.
See the following script (ready to include in .bashrc):
# Detect the platform (similar to $OSTYPE)
OS="`uname`"
case $OS in
'Linux')
OS='Linux'
alias ls='ls --color=auto'
;;
'FreeBSD')
OS='FreeBSD'
alias ls='ls -G'
;;
'WindowsNT')
OS='Windows'
;;
'Darwin')
OS='Mac'
;;
'SunOS')
OS='Solaris'
;;
'AIX') ;;
*) ;;
esac
You can find some practical example in my .bashrc.
Here is similar version used on Travis CI:
case $(uname | tr '[:upper:]' '[:lower:]') in
linux*)
export TRAVIS_OS_NAME=linux
;;
darwin*)
export TRAVIS_OS_NAME=osx
;;
msys*)
export TRAVIS_OS_NAME=windows
;;
*)
export TRAVIS_OS_NAME=notset
;;
esac

Detecting operating system and CPU type is not so easy to do portably. I have a sh
script of about 100 lines that works across a very wide variety of Unix platforms: any system I have used since 1988.
The key elements are
uname -p
is processor type but is usuallyunknown
on modern Unix platforms.uname -m
will give the "machine hardware name" on some Unix systems./bin/arch
, if it exists, will usually give the type of processor.uname
with no arguments will name the operating system.
Eventually you will have to think about the distinctions between platforms and how fine you want to make them. For example, just to keep things simple, I treat i386
through i686
, any "Pentium*
" and any "AMD*Athlon*
" all as x86
.
My ~/.profile
runs an a script at startup which sets one variable to a string indicating the combination of CPU and operating system. I have platform-specific bin
, man
, lib
, and include
directories that get set up based on that. Then I set a boatload of environment variables. So for example, a shell script to reformat mail can call, e.g., $LIB/mailfmt
which is a platform-specific executable binary.
If you want to cut corners, uname -m
and plain uname
will tell you what you want to know on many platforms. Add other stuff when you need it. (And use case
, not nested if
!)

In bash, use $OSTYPE
and $HOSTTYPE
, as documented; this is what I do. If that is not enough, and if even uname
or uname -a
(or other appropriate options) does not give enough information, there’s always the config.guess script from the GNU project, made exactly for this purpose.
回答8:
Try using "uname". For example, in Linux: "uname -a".
According to the manual page, uname conforms to SVr4 and POSIX, so it should be available on Mac OS X and Cygwin too, but I can't confirm that.
BTW: $OSTYPE is also set to linux-gnu
here :)
回答9:
I would suggest avoiding some of these answers. Don't forget that you can choose other forms of string comparison, which would clear up most of the variations, or ugly code offered.
One such solution would be a simple check, such as:
if [[ "$OSTYPE" =~ ^darwin ]]; then
Which has the added benefit of matching any version of Darwin, despite it's version suffix. This also works for any variations of Linux
one may expect.
You can see some additional examples within my dotfiles here
回答10:
I wrote these sugars in my .bashrc
:
if_os () { [[ $OSTYPE == *$1* ]]; }
if_nix () {
case "$OSTYPE" in
*linux*|*hurd*|*msys*|*cygwin*|*sua*|*interix*) sys="gnu";;
*bsd*|*darwin*) sys="bsd";;
*sunos*|*solaris*|*indiana*|*illumos*|*smartos*) sys="sun";;
esac
[[ "${sys}" == "$1" ]];
}
So I can do stuff like:
if_nix gnu && alias ls='ls --color=auto' && export LS_COLORS="..."
if_nix bsd && export CLICOLORS=on && export LSCOLORS="..."
if_os linux && alias psg="ps -FA | grep" #alternative to pgrep
if_nix bsd && alias psg="ps -alwx | grep -i" #alternative to pgrep
if_os darwin && alias finder="open -R"
回答11:
uname
or
uname -a
if you want more information
回答12:
I wrote a personal Bash library and scripting framework that uses GNU shtool to do a rather accurate platform detection.
GNU shtool is a very portable set of scripts that contains, among other useful things, the 'shtool platform' command. Here is the output of:
shtool platform -v -F "%sc (%ac) %st (%at) %sp (%ap)"
on a few different machines:
Mac OS X Leopard:
4.4BSD/Mach3.0 (iX86) Apple Darwin 9.6.0 (i386) Apple Mac OS X 10.5.6 (iX86)
Ubuntu Jaunty server:
LSB (iX86) GNU/Linux 2.9/2.6 (i686) Ubuntu 9.04 (iX86)
Debian Lenny:
LSB (iX86) GNU/Linux 2.7/2.6 (i686) Debian GNU/Linux 5.0 (iX86)
This produces pretty satisfactory results, as you can see. GNU shtool is a little slow, so I actually store and update the platform identification in a file on the system that my scripts call. It's my framework, so that works for me, but your mileage may vary.
Now, you'll have to find a way to package shtool with your scripts, but it's not a hard exercise. You can always fall back on uname output, also.
EDIT:
I missed the post by Teddy about config.guess
(somehow). These are very similar scripts, but not the same. I personally use shtool for other uses as well, and it has been working quite well for me.
回答13:
You can use the following:
OS=$(uname -s)
then you can use OS variable in your script.
回答14:
This should be safe to use on all distros.
$ cat /etc/*release
This produces something like this.
DISTRIB_ID=LinuxMint
DISTRIB_RELEASE=17
DISTRIB_CODENAME=qiana
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Linux Mint 17 Qiana"
NAME="Ubuntu"
VERSION="14.04.1 LTS, Trusty Tahr"

Extract/assign to variables as you wish
Note: On some setups. This may also give you some errors that you can ignore.
cat: /etc/upstream-release: Is a directory

Below it's an approach to detect Debian and RedHat based Linux OS making use of the /etc/lsb-release and /etc/os-release (depending on the Linux flavor you're using) and take a simple action based on it.
#!/bin/bash
set -e
YUM_PACKAGE_NAME="python python-devl python-pip openssl-devel"
DEB_PACKAGE_NAME="python2.7 python-dev python-pip libssl-dev"
if cat /etc/*release | grep ^NAME | grep CentOS; then
echo "==============================================="
echo "Installing packages $YUM_PACKAGE_NAME on CentOS"
echo "==============================================="
yum install -y $YUM_PACKAGE_NAME
elif cat /etc/*release | grep ^NAME | grep Red; then
echo "==============================================="
echo "Installing packages $YUM_PACKAGE_NAME on RedHat"
echo "==============================================="
yum install -y $YUM_PACKAGE_NAME
elif cat /etc/*release | grep ^NAME | grep Fedora; then
echo "================================================"
echo "Installing packages $YUM_PACKAGE_NAME on Fedorea"
echo "================================================"
yum install -y $YUM_PACKAGE_NAME
elif cat /etc/*release | grep ^NAME | grep Ubuntu; then
echo "==============================================="
echo "Installing packages $DEB_PACKAGE_NAME on Ubuntu"
echo "==============================================="
apt-get update
apt-get install -y $DEB_PACKAGE_NAME
elif cat /etc/*release | grep ^NAME | grep Debian ; then
echo "==============================================="
echo "Installing packages $DEB_PACKAGE_NAME on Debian"
echo "==============================================="
apt-get update
apt-get install -y $DEB_PACKAGE_NAME
elif cat /etc/*release | grep ^NAME | grep Mint ; then
echo "============================================="
echo "Installing packages $DEB_PACKAGE_NAME on Mint"
echo "============================================="
apt-get update
apt-get install -y $DEB_PACKAGE_NAME
elif cat /etc/*release | grep ^NAME | grep Knoppix ; then
echo "================================================="
echo "Installing packages $DEB_PACKAGE_NAME on Kanoppix"
echo "================================================="
apt-get update
apt-get install -y $DEB_PACKAGE_NAME
else
echo "OS NOT DETECTED, couldn't install package $PACKAGE"
exit 1;
fi
exit 0

回答16:
You can use following if clause and expand it as needed:
if [ "${OSTYPE//[0-9.]/}" == "darwin" ]
then
aminute_ago="-v-1M"
elif [ "${OSTYPE//[0-9.]/}" == "linux-gnu" ]
then
aminute_ago="-d \"1 minute ago\""

I tend to keep my .bashrc and .bash_alias on a file share that all platforms can access. This is how I conquer the problem in my .bash_alias:
if [[ -f (name of share)/.bash_alias_$(uname) ]]; then
. (name of share)/.bash_alias_$(uname)
fi
And I have for example a .bash_alias_Linux with:
alias ls='ls --color=auto'
This way I keep platform specific and portable code separate, you can do the same for .bashrc
回答18:
I tried the above messages across a few Linux distros and found the following to work best for me. It’s a short, concise exact word answer that works for Bash on Windows as well.
OS=$(cat /etc/*release | grep ^NAME | tr -d 'NAME="') #$ echo $OS # Ubuntu
回答19:
This checks a bunch of known
files to identfy if the linux distro is Debian or Ubunu, then it defaults to the $OSTYPE
variable.
os='Uknown'
unamestr="${OSTYPE//[0-9.]/}"
os=$( compgen -G "/etc/*release" > /dev/null && cat /etc/*release | grep ^NAME | tr -d 'NAME="' || echo "$unamestr")
echo "$os"
回答20:
try this:
DISTRO=$(cat /etc/*-release | grep -w NAME | cut -d= -f2 | tr -d '"')
echo "Determined platform: $DISTRO"
回答21:
Doing the following helped perform the check correctly for ubuntu:
if [[ "$OSTYPE" =~ ^linux ]]; then
sudo apt-get install <some-package>
fi
