Version Info/Patch Level

I'm trying to get Mac OS X squeezed onto a list of approved OS's for a banking audit, and to do so, I must have the command line command for version.

patch -p is useless, and the CLI for isntaller doens't seem to help. Does anyone know how to get this info?

If all else fails, I'll do osascript "get version of application "finder" but I'd prefer to have the patch level.

Dual G5, Mac OS X (10.4.4)

Hi BGist,
One can obtain slightly more detailed information than Andy's system_profiler command about the Darwin kernel from the uname command:

uname -v

However, I know of no other way to find the version and build number of Mac OS X. I've never seen that -detailLevel switch. That's cool Andy, thanks!
