I need to make a web based interface which if possible should capture all the known hardware in a workstation. I know this is a highly OS dependent thing but if anyone has ever worked on something similar or has any pointers it would be highly appreciated. RedHat usually has a file : /etc/sysconfig/hwconf which is more than sufficient for my use but can I actually read a file on the hard disk using Javascript ??? What about the other distributions - Debian, SuSE ... - is there anyway to know what all devices have been detected by the OS ?? I guess I can even live with the output of /proc/pci but can that be at all read using Javascript ?? I would prefer not to use Java but if anyone is aware of any piece of code which works both on Linux and Windows I would really like to know. As for windows I guess there are ways to read the registry but I am totally clue less as to what those ways are. Anyone any pointers ???
