Running? or installed?
Note that I expect these commands to run, unaltered, on SLE.
For the latter:
09:30 [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ rpm -qf /etc/*release
sl-release-5.0-4
09:31 [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$
This is Scientific Linux folks.
For kernel details, incantations of uname, maybe:
09:33 [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ uname -m
i686
09:33 [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$
Okay, so this is not your Zed.
For a software inventory:
09:33 [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ rpm -qa | head
comps-extras-11.1-1.1
atk-1.12.2-1.fc6
mktemp-1.5-23.2.2
bzip2-libs-1.0.3-3
tcp_wrappers-7.6-40.2.1
beecrypt-4.1.2-10.1.1
libIDL-0.8.7-1.fc6
liboil-0.3.8-2.1
cyrus-sasl-plain-2.1.22-4
checkpolicy-1.33.1-2.el5
09:34 [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$
There are more arguments, read the rpm docs for the whole scoop. Is this
interesting?
09:36 [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ rpm -qa --qf
'trtd%{name}/tdtd%{arch}/td/tr\n' | head
trtdcomps-extras/tdtdnoarch/td/tr
trtdatk/tdtdi386/td/tr
trtdmktemp/tdtdi386/td/tr
trtdbzip2-libs/tdtdi386/td/tr
trtdtcp_wrappers/tdtdi386/td/tr
trtdbeecrypt/tdtdi386/td/tr
trtdlibIDL/tdtdi386/td/tr
trtdliboil/tdtdi386/td/tr
trtdcyrus-sasl-plain/tdtdi386/td/tr
trtdcheckpolicy/tdtdi386/td/tr
09:37 [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$
Want to know what fields you can get?
09:37 [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ rpm -querytags | head
HEADERIMAGE
HEADERSIGNATURES
HEADERIMMUTABLE
HEADERREGIONS
HEADERI18NTABLE
SIGSIZE
SIGPGP
SIGMD5
PKGID
SIGGPG
Case doesn't matter.
Note, if it didn't come in an rpm this doesn't list it.
Also, how can I tell if it is 32-bit or 64-bit.
Thanks
