Is it possible to check using shell whether or not Cyanogenmod is installed on a device?

In other words, something like uname -a (which tells the system Linux version and architecture).

Can the version be determined as well?

I tried to do uname -a on my CM10.1 (Samsung Galaxy S2) on the built-in Terminal app.

It returns:

Linux localhost 3.0.31-CM-g17c7b6e #1 SMP PREEMPT Tue Feb 19 01:11:17 PST 2013 armv71 GNU/Linux

Kernel version: 3.0.31-CM-g17c7b6e
SMP: Symmetric Multi-Processor support
PREEMPT: kernel preemption is enabled
Kernel date: Tue Feb 19 01:11:17 PST 2013
Processor: armv71

Can you explain the rest of the output? What is g17c7b6e, PREEMPT? – Kshitiz Sharma Feb 21 at 10:52

Another way is to simply go to Settings→About phone, where you should see (depending on your CyanogenMod version) an item "CyanogenMod updates", and (with all CM versions) "CyanogenMod-Version":

About Phone: CM Stats and Kernel version About phone: CM version About phone: CM version (German)
