@prashanthpulisetti Thanks for your contribution. However, it the source /etc/os-release command doesn't work then the rest of the script won't. Adding cat /etc/os-release doesn't help.

Actually I tested today and when I did source /etc/os-release on a Ubuntu machine, it didn't work, but when I ran cat /etc/os-release, it worked. Sai Prashanth Pulisetti

The source command doesn't produce any output. It loads the values in /etc/os-release as environment variables so that they can be used in the script. The cat command does nothing to the environment.
