Subject: Which OS Type

Is there any command to find out which Operating System I am using.
Basically, I need to know whether the OS is Windows type or Unix Type. The
Unix type could be any Unix e.g. Sun , HP etc , Linux etc.

I am writing a shell script and if the shell script is run under windows
environment using cygwin, then I have to take care of some file naming
conventions for oracle sqlplus command under windows
and if the script run under unix then I have use filenames, path names 
for sqlplus command in unix.
I know uname command, but is there any other command which can be more
useful in my case.

example :-
sqlplus command in windows using cygwin.

sqlplus scott/tiger
@c:\mydir\test.sql

the samething in unix

sqlplus scott/tiger
@/usr/mydir/test.sql

Thanks
Sanjay
