(Like Ipconfig, ping etc.) The only thing I do is call them from python, make sure that the format is right and write it to a file. (called temp.txt) Once temp.txt is complete it goes through a script which makes the text 'cross platform' so it shows 'nice' on forums. I'll make a little attempt to this.
