Yes, exactly. For instance, I have a normal user account of sagenb.org and
so I figured that would be a good testing ground. Doing something like
import os, platform
OS = platform.system().lower()
if OS == "linux":
hdware = {
'CPU:' : 'cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep -m 1 "model name"',
'Core Count Total:' : 'cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep -c "processor"',
'Core Count Per CPU:' : 'cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep -m 1 "cores"',
'Total Mem:' : 'cat /proc/meminfo | grep "MemTotal"',
'Swap Mem:' : 'cat /proc/meminfo | grep "SwapTotal"'
yadda yadda
....
sorting, and applying some os.system(cmd) commands, parsing the text a
bit... I can gather the following information about that machine.
