While I was poking around the /proc file system entries, I noticed
something:
/proc/sys/kernel/osrelease, ostype, hostname, and domainname
(when cat'ed) produce an extra NULL character at the end.
> cat /proc/sys/kernel/osrelease | less
1.3.94^@
> cat /proc/sys/kernel/osrelease | wc -c
8
Just thought I'd let you know ...
Shin!
