[Javascript] Determine operating system in javascript

[Peter Brunone]

   I don't know for sure, but that sounds like a question for the Rhino docs.

 Peter,   I am running scripts from DOS command prompt on Windows platform. I am using a JS engine called Rhino from mozilla that provides a javascript shell.   Is there a way to fetch environment variables from within the script?   Thanks.

It usually depends on the environment where you are running the scripts; with most server platforms, there are environment variables that give you this kind of thing.  Are you running this on a web server, and if so (or even if not) what layer/application is the javascript running in?       -----Original Message-----

  It is the operating system of server. Javascript also runs on the server machine. Is there something like a sytem comman that can get OS name.   Thanks

If the client, then this will greatly depend on what type of client software is calling your application.  If the server, then your server environment will determine how you proceed.         -----Original Message-----

  I am using javascript for a server side application (no browser involved). How can I check the type of operating system i.e. windows or unix flavor?    Thanks
