pbversion | EPM-UL

• Version 5.1.2 and earlier: pbversion not available.
• Version 5.2 and later: pbversion available.

pbversion reports the binary file version numbers and optionally reports installed components of Endpoint Privilege Management for Unix and Linux. This non-interactive utility can be run on any machine and provides a list of the version numbers for all known Endpoint Privilege Management for Unix and Linux binary files. Installations are identified using the prefix and suffix arguments or the default installation if a prefix and/or suffix is not specified.

Only root can run pbversion. Prior to v8.0 pbversion can only be run from the installation directory and it should not be moved from the installation directory because it is dependent on Endpoint Privilege Management for Unix and Linux installer scripts.

With v8.0 and later, pbversion is available as part of the installed binaries after the install (located in the admin directory which is /usr/sbin by default).

pbversion does not report on Endpoint Privilege Management for Unix and Linux versions prior to v4.0 because the binary version arguments were not available previously. Also, it does not report on binary version for executable files pbnvi or pbuvqrpg because the version argument does not display the binary version.

Syntax
