[Javascript] Determine operating system in javascript

[Peter Brunone]

    I don't know of anything Javascript-specific for this.  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?

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.

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
