Nagios has some nice plugins for finding the kind of information you mentioned from various platforms, but you usually have to install something on the system to get it to report back. Nagios has the added bonus of providing alerts when certain variables cross thresholds (e.g. temperature goes above XX degrees or available disk space drops below XX GB.) -- Doran L.
