I'm not sure about Windows or Linux, but you could use the command "system_profiler" on OS X and then search for the following pieces of info:

-amount of RAM > Memory ( the first returned line will provide total system memory)
-processor type > CPU Type (i.e. PowerPC 750) ; CPU Speed
-video card type > not sure what information you would need, but you would find it under "PCI/AGP Cards"
-video card Ram > VRAM (Total)
-free HD space > Available (will return HD space of boot drive)


Usually I would use grep to get the info that I need, but I would love to know the best way to do this with Rev.

Hi List,

inspired by the "erratic screen updates (was Slow screen lock/unlock)" Thread I´m starting a new one. :-)

I would like to find as much information on the machine a stack runs on as possible. I´m especially interested in:

-amount of RAM
-processor type
-video card type
-video card Ram
-free HD space

I *guess* it should be possible to retrieve that data using the shell on OsX / Linux / Unix and XP, but I have not too many ideas how to go about it.
The first wild guess for OsX would be to


get shell(dmesg) and walk through each line of it to retrieve information. Any thoughts for the other platforms and a better way for OsX?

Cheers,

Malte
