How can I retrieve the computer serial number in OS X, Vista and Linux from Rev?
Thanks in advance, I appreciate it.


Hi Paul,

This is how we get the serial on OS X using shell. It is very fast and has the added benefit of identifying refurb macs.

function getSerial
         put empty into tSerial
put shell("/usr/sbin/system_profiler SPHardwareDataType") into tResult
         repeat with x=1 to the number of lines of tResult
if "Serial Number" is in line x of tResult then put line x of tResult into tSerial
         end repeat
if tSerial is not empty then put the last word of tSerial into tSerial
         if tSerial is empty then put "Refurb Mac" into tSerial
         return tSerial
end getSerial
