Re: [gentoo-user] Re: Succinct compilation of system info...
quoth the [EMAIL PROTECTED]: This seems to have tremendous potential. Having all this information in one standard form allows you to take snapshots of your system, and then if things break you can compare snapshots before and after to possibly get a hint of where to focus. Yup. I was thinking it would be good for a weekly (or daily) cron report delivered to your mailbox. Maybe an option to only send a diff from the previous run... This will be especially true when you add the ability to list packages and software installed. Which is done (for Gentoo, Arch, Fedora, RHEL, SuSe). It could also be useful when trying to help solve a problem, especially remotely. Also, put it on your favorite live/rescue cd and have instant info on unfamiliar systems... Why not set this up as a sourceforge project? I am not sure that a project of this scope really needs full blown sourceforge project page...a bug tracker, forums, and three pages just to download the thing seem a bit extreme...I think I can host from my site, at least for now. This isn't to say I don't appreciate testers and bug reports... I am still plugging away, and will try to have a real, polished tarball release with a man page etc up before the weekend is done.

The commands, excepting lshw, have been available since the 1970s. And lots of system inventory scripts are in existance. Many written obscurely in Perl and other languages. Thanks for the handy list. I know all those tools of course but assumed someone would have had enough time during those 35 yrs to have assembled a nifty script that I could just edit for my own needs. I've never subscribed to the fool notion that I must do it myself from the ground up, mainly so that I could smugly stroke my grey guru beard. I'd happily save a good bit of time instead. I'm sure many such scripts have been written in the past 35yrs. I hoped a few would have become famous and available by name that I could simply edit. You mentioned possibly obscure system inventory scripts in perl. So apparently you already know it can be a time consuming undertaking to dig one up with google, test it, etc etc. Do you know of one off the top of your head?

The last one I worked with was - - dependant upon some obscure layer on top of perl, no longer maintained. - used tricks to avoid typing clean code. - written by people no longer around when I tried to make it work. - broken by updates to both the system, perl, various CPAN modules and relied on the web server being Netscape Enterprise. - Dedicated to IRIX systems.

Scott Stoddard [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Harry Putnam wrote: What is the standard or common way to compile a detailed yet succinct listing of system info. Are there tools that do this? Or maybe one of those 16 inch cmdlines with 2 dozen pipes... :) Well, if you're talking about all hardware then I tend to prefer sys-apps/lshw which can generate ascii/html output or run with a gui. If you want more of a summary of things, you could consider lspci and lsusb (found in pciutils and usbutils respectively). Thanks, I wasn't aware of lshw. But I was thinking more along the lines BelarcAdvisor in the windows world. But different in the sense that it isn't gui. With Belarc you have to start and run the gui, which generates an html page. To get a text file you can `save as' from the gui. I want straight command line so redirect is possible, but a thorough summary. Not just hdw or pci or usb. I want that but also what filesystems, which users, all installed software. How much data on which partitions, all devices broken down into their uses such as ethernet, disk controller etc etc. In general a full scope summary. It seems this would have been invented long ago, for the treasure trove it would supply to developers. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
