There is a command that will echo back the result "linux" and thats all it says if you typ it.

Anyone know of the command I'm speaking of?

I need to know.

Do you perhaps mean the "uname" command? By default, it writes
the name of the operating system to the standard output.

echo

*g*

'echo linux' will echo 'linux'.

So if you had a, um, script containing that line called 'foo', every time you typed 'foo' bash would spit back 'linux'.

Then there's also 'uname' - that'll do it too.
