Perhaps so, but I decided to write one anyway. Just 'stroking the beard' I |
| 8 |
guess. It is in python, as I cannot stand Perl. |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
I have only spent a few hours on this, so it is still rough around the edges |
| 11 |
(ie: there is virtually no error checking so far), but good enough to post |
| 12 |
now I think. I will spend the next few days polishing it up. |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
Problems with it: |
| 15 |
1. For now, it only works properly on single cpu systems. If you have 2+ cpu's |
| 16 |
it will just print "Couldn't get cpu info" |
| 17 |
2. Hardware is just a dump of 'lspci'; user and group is just a dump |
| 18 |
of /etc/passwd and /etc/group. I will fix this so that it actually displays a |
| 19 |
useful report in the next few days... |
| 20 |
3. May not work on systems with hardware I don't have ;) That is, I have not |
| 21 |
tested with devices such as tape drives, raid arrays etc...so the script |
| 22 |
might break with this sort of input (or perhaps just ignore it) |
| 23 |
4. No package/software listing yet. I want to do this in a distro neutral way. |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
What it does so far: |
| 26 |
1. print meta info: hostname, distro, architecture (ie i686) |
| 27 |
2. cpu details: model, speed, cache, bogomips |
| 28 |
3. memory and memory usage details (including swap) |
| 29 |
4. kernel information: version, uptime, cmdline, loaded modules, supported |
| 30 |
filesystems etc... |
| 31 |
5. hardware (lspci for now...) |
| 32 |
6. network info: interfaces, ip address, broadcast, netmask, MAC, default GW, |
| 33 |
nameservers |
| 34 |
7. mounted devices: net mounts, pseudo mounts, disk usage |
| 35 |
8. Users, groups |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
I would like to do this thing right, so if you (anybody!) has ideas, advice, |
| 38 |
requests etc please try it out and let's talk. Am I missing anything that |
| 39 |
should be printed? |
| 40 |
|
| 41 |
As mentioned, I have tomorrow free, so I will plug away at it more then... |
