OS Detection via Ruby

[kyonides]

Or just use the short version of it. No need to credit me since it only excludes insignificant details not really needed to run the script

Code:

class OSError < StandardError
end
module OS_Detect
  def self.execute
    @os ||= case RUBY_PLATFORM
    when /mswin|msys|mingw|cygwin|bccwin|wince|emc/
      :windows
    when /darwin|mac os/
      :macosx
    when /linux/
      :linux
    when /solaris|bsd/
      :unix
    else
      raise OSError, "unknown os: #{RUBY_PLATFORM.inspect}"
    end
  end
end

I had to replace the error message he provided because it would cause you to read a non related error message instead! Something like NameError: No Error class or module found.
