Display numerical version?

[x3dfxjunkie]

Greetings all,

I've recently stood up my first murmur server (1.2.3) on a linux box at home, and while writing some automation scripts for it, found something isn't very clean to me. When running the command:

$ ./murmur.x86 -version
<F>2012-02-27 09:36:07.355 ./murmur.x86 -- Compiled Feb 19 2011 22:36:23

I get a compile date, not a version number. What I'm trying to do is script an automated version check (to look for new stable releases), and i can scrape the version from the site just fine but somehow can't match it to my current running binary.

Is there another way to view that for a comparison?

Cheers,

Russ
