Solaris Shell Script To Gather Basic System Info

Wrapping up this work week, it occured to me that I'd spent all my time on Linux and none on Unix (A bad thing? Judgement call ;)

In any event, I thought it would be somewhat equalizing if I put together one of my basic shell scripts, specifically for Solaris, that you can be run on any Unix system (although you'll need root privilege to ensure that all of these commands give you the information you want) and print up a nicely formatted listing of system information.

When run in an SSH shell loop, it can be a quick and tidy way to put together a system inventory to keep the big dogs happy ;) You can run it simply by calling it on the system you're running it on, like so:

./solinfo.sh

Cheers; enjoy your weekend :)

Linux Shell Script To Gather Basic System Info

Today, I thought we'd go for some lighter fare, so I put together another one of my simple shell scripts, specifically for Linux, that you can run on any system (although you do need some elevated privilege to get the correct information for a few of the commands) and print up a nicely formatted listing of system information (I tried to pick the stuff superiors tend to want to know).

If you run this in an SSH shell loop, it might just be a handy way to slap together a little system inventory to pacify the big guys ;) You can run it simply by calling it on the system you're running it on, like so:

./sysinfo.sh

Anyway, enjoy and best wishes. The work week is almost over :)
