It's "system_profiler", not system...

*I* know that - it's this bloody computer ;-)

That's the response I got in Terminal when I tried this.

Hmmm, that would be a first. The terminal is pretty straightforward. If you
type the command, it will find it. If not, you get the above error. Are you
sure you put the "_" (underline) between 'system' and 'profiler'? I just did
a copy and paste into Terminal and it worked just fine...

Interesting. The underscore doesn't appear - in either the email (I'm using PINE) or in Terminal (when I copy & pasted it).

Now - I don't get the "Command not found", I just get a pause, then a
return to the username prompt. No info.

FYI, I'm using Terminal 1.3.2 (v82) under 10.2.8. Maybe that's the
problem.

If you don't get any error message, then it's because the command is
recognized. Now, why you don't get anything back, I don't know. Did you just
do "system_profiler" to see or did you also included the 'grep' command?

Be sure that you are using the pipe character "SHIFT \" on my keyboard and not a lowercase L before the grep.
