I am looking for an easy way to tell the State of a machine (single or 
multiuser) from with in a process.

Does anyone now of a subroutine or system call or some file to check.  

I need to perform this check on two unix platforms: Sun's running Solaris 1.01
and DEC 5000 and 3100's runing ULTRIX 4.2A

Thanks in advance.
