Subject: [Icecast] Newbie Questions<br>

I inherited an icecast server at a radio station. I am not a linux/unix person. I am able to use putty and winscp to gain access. I can use sudo -s -H to gain root level access (dangerous, I know), but I do not know the OS (or even which OS variant).<br>
<span class=""><br>
First question, how do I determine what OS is being used?<br>
<br>
Next question, I want to use logrotate.d to rotate (and archive) logs on a monthly basis. How is that done?<br>
<br>
What is a PID?<br>
<br>
(Yes, I am a newbie!)<br>

Well first I guess Google :P<br>
<br>
Run 'uname -a' and that might give you a hint if the kernel isn't custom.<br>
<br>
Also you could try the following:<br>
<br>
'cat /etc/*version'<br>
'cat /etc/debian_version'<br>
'lsb_release -a:<br>
'cat /etc/redhat-release'<br>
'cat /etc/fedora-release'<br>
<br>
If none of those commands help, then it might be something more exotic - but let's try the easy ones first.<br>
<br>
A PID is a process id - every process has one, and they are assigned depending on when they run.<br>
<br>
The logrotate question might be better answered once you know the version of linux that's running.<br>
