Reading the gateway OS from script

General Discussion

Is there a cleaner way to get the OS from scripting other than the following?


response =system.net.httpGet("http://localhost:8088/system/gwinfo")

response_values = response.split(';')
for value in response_values:
	if value.split('=')[0] == 'OS':
		print(value.split('=')[-1])

This works… but it feels dirty

from java.lang import System

print System.getProperty("os.name")

You could sendRequest to the gateway, then run this:

from com.inductiveautomation.ignition.common.util import Platform
Platform.getOS().name()

All it does is parse the os.name system property from Kevin’s snippet, but it might be friendlier to use.

EDIT:
Oh, and you can use system.util.getProperty (which is just an alias for System.getProperty) if you want. We even documented os.name:
