title: Find the unix platform name
body: <p>I want to be able to determine the output folder based on the platform name: AS3, AS4, AS5, SUN. </p>
  
  <p>I couldn't figure out how to extract the platform name from the system. I experimented with:</p>
  
  <pre><code>uname -a
  
  file /bin/bash
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Thanks</p>
  
  <p><strong>Solution</strong></p>
  
  <p>./lsb_release -a</p>
