relatively recent.
Back in Nov 1994, the sh-utils tarball included uname (download it:
http://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/sh-utils/). This was well after Linux
started, in fact, the kernel was heading towards 1.2 at that stage.

But you're actually getting a sample of uname usage, of course.

Hi,
Shouldn't be to hard. It depends on which way you are comfortable
with ie security, no hacking
You could rewrite/modify syswatch.c to run
the command on a remote machine via ssh ( not good as you web server has
remote shell access to your other servers),
or have the perl script run
