Today I'm finishing the code cleanup for my latest Rails plugin (will be soon released) and I want to execute some rake tasks, only if the OS supports certain system calls.
The following snippet helps to check the current platform.

require 'webrick'
class OperatingSystem
class << self
def host
Config::CONFIG['host']
end
def macos?
host.include?('darwin')
end
def linux?
host.include?('linux')
end
def windows?
host.include?('mswin')
end
def current
case
when macos?: 'macos'
when linux?: 'linux'
when windows?: 'windows'
else 'unknown'
end
end
end
end
