[Mono-list] Detect OS using mono framework

[Scott Graves]

I came up with a temporary solution for now similar to what the site
descibes:
public class OSDetection
    {
        static public bool IsWindows
        {
            get
            {
                return Environment.OSVersion.Platform != PlatformID.Unix;
            }
        }

        static public bool IsOSX
        {
            get
            {
                bool retVal = false;
                if (!IsWindows)
                {
                    ProcessStartInfo si = new ProcessStartInfo("uname",
"-s");
                    si.RedirectStandardOutput = true;
                    si.UseShellExecute = false;

                    string outputString = string.Empty;
                    using (Process p = Process.Start(si))
                    {
                        p.Start();
                        outputString = p.StandardOutput.ReadLine();
                        p.WaitForExit();
                    }

                    retVal = string.Compare(outputString, "darwin", true) ==
0;
                }

                return retVal;
            }
        }

        static public bool IsLinux
        {
            get
            {
                bool retVal = false;
                if (!IsWindows)
                {
                    ProcessStartInfo si = new ProcessStartInfo("uname",
"-s");
                    si.RedirectStandardOutput = true;
                    si.UseShellExecute = false;

                    string outputString = string.Empty;
                    using (Process p = Process.Start(si))
                    {
                        p.Start();
                        outputString = p.StandardOutput.ReadLine();
                        p.WaitForExit();
                    }

                    retVal = string.Compare(outputString, "linux", true) ==
0;
                }

                return retVal;
            }
        }
    }
