Re: [CentOS] Hardware serial number access from (a) command(s)
dmidecode should work in any Linux: man dmidecode DMIDECODE(8) DMIDECODE(8) NAME dmidecode - DMI table decoder SYNOPSIS dmidecode [OPTIONS] DESCRIPTION dmidecode is a tool for dumping a computer's DMI (some say SMBIOS) table contents in a human-readable format. This ta‐ ble contains a description of the system's hardware compo‐ nents, as well as other useful pieces of information such as serial numbers and BIOS revision. Thanks to this table, you can retrieve this information without having to probe for the actual hardware. While this is a good point in terms of report speed and safeness, this also makes the presented information possibly unreliable. ^^^ sometimes truth is stranger than fiction -bad religion- http://www.bloglines.com/blog/mailist ^^^ I don't think the computers will take over the world.
