Shaun,
<version_command> is what you want:
<version_command>tophat --version</version_command>
A couple things to note: *tool path isn't needed if the tool is in your galaxy user's path; *your tool must have a --version command line option; if not, you'll have to modify the command.
This functionality should be working as of latest Galaxy dist.
If you're still having trouble, it would be useful to try running a tool with a known, functioning version command (e.g. Tophat, Bowtie, Cufflinks/ compare/diff) and seeing if it produces the version as output.
Let us know if you're still having problems.
Thanks, J.
Hi all, I ran into a problem with this just now and filed an issue on it, the <version_command> tag does not support an interpreter, https://bitbucket.org/galaxy/galaxy-central/issue/688/ Peter
