Small howto on finding the Sybase version without logging into the database tools (isql). You'll need to run sybase.sh to load the sybase environment into your shell. After that you can run the dataserver -v command.
I use the sybase user to run that command, it has the sybase environment by default:
$ dataserver -v Adaptive Server Enterprise/15.0.2/EBF 15967 ESD#6/P/x86_64/Enterprise Linux/ase1502/2537/64-bit/FBO/Thu Oct 2 01:33:23 2008 Confidential property of Sybase, Inc.
