HELP!!! Message-ID: <CqBIH4.K3G@athena.ulaval.ca> Keywords: hardware inventory retrieval configuration Sender: news@athena.ulaval.ca Nntp-Posting-Host: sibelius.ift.ulaval.ca Reply-To: gendron@ift.ulaval.ca Organization: Universite Laval, Quebec, Canada Date: Tue, 24 May 1994 17:41:27 GMT Lines: 53 Hi there! We want to retrieve AUTOMATICALLY the hardware and software configurations of UNIX machines. We know how to get every item in the following lists, but we are looking for an integrated utility (or part of one) that could do all this. We're looking for something that would work on every machine/UNIX-OS match. However, I think this will be hard to find. So, if you know something that will work on a brand of boxes, and that is preferably public domain or freeware, I would appreciate your help!!! Of particular interest are: Physical RAM (amount) Hard disks (size, type, partitionning, free space) Floppies (size, type) Screen (type, resolution) Keyboard (type) Any other peripherals (printer, modem, cd-rom, tape backup) Others? Logical Network address File, printer, NIS server router Users Others? Performance CPU, network, NFS, memory, i/o's, RPC, etc. You had to do it? You know someone who did it? You know where I could look for some useful information? I'd like to hear from you! Regards, Remy Gendron Quebec, (Quebec), Canada gendron@ift.ulaval.ca
