To determine the version of Sun Java System Application Server on a
system, the following command can be run:
$ <AS_INSTALL>/bin/asadmin version --verbose
Sun Java System Application Server 7 2004Q2UR3 (build A051525-273129)
(Where <AS_INSTALL> is the installation directory of the Application
Server).
To determine the version of Sun Java System Web Server on a system,
the following command can be run:
$ <WS-install>/https-<host>/start -version
(Where <WS-install> is top installation directory of Web Server and
<host> should be the actual host name on which the Web Server is
installed).
To determine the version of Sun Java System Proxy Server on a system,
the following command can be run:
$ <PS_INSTALL>/bin/ns-proxy -v
Sun ONE Web Proxy Server 3.6-SP9 B2006.191.1801 SP9
(Where <PS_INSTALL> is the installation directory of the Proxy
Server).
