Try 'system_profiler'. Running it as 'system_profiler -detaillevel full' will probably provide more information than you really need. Run it with an unrecognized option (e.g. '-help') for more info.

Just a quick question. Is there a command line at a terminal window of MacOSX that can do this- tell you more about the hardware? Also list software packages and their revisions and also patches?

On my 800Mhz Dual Processor PPC the AS command

system info

returns the correct version (10.4.11).

Very Cool,

on my iMini

Gestalt says it's 10.4.9
osascript/fider says 10.4.7

I guess this is the version for the application "Finder", not the OS!

sw_version 10.4.11

the latter is correct :-)-O


This AS

tell application "Finder"
    set FinderVersion to version
    set OSVersion to product version
    return {FinderVersion, OSVersion}
end tell

returns

{"10.4.7", ""}

So getting the OS version via the Finder seems to be broken - but there is an alternative, as shown above.

Gestalt seems to be broken, however.
