The same way you'd run any ssh command?

if ssh host uname \| grep -q CYGWIN; then
	echo "it's running cygwin";
else
	echo "it's not running cygwin";
fi


I was just now thinking about this. I just finished using "ssh host > out.dat" to debug why my rsync was not working. This made me think to use a command to know the OS for my purpose and while thinking about that read your mail!


Thanks for your suggestion,
