I think I asked this before, but I can't find the thread...

Like, a terminal command that'll give me the processor, ram, etc.

I'm telnet-ing into a couple machines and I have no idea what they're all about.

Thanks!

dmesg will let you know what the hardware is on your box.

edit: as this doesn't involve any programming, I'd say wrong forum

cat /proc/meminfo

Tells memory stats.

cat /proc/cpuinfo

For CPU.

They may have lshw or lshal which give very verbose details about the HW on the system. dmesg will also reveal things.

It depends heavily on what kind of unix it is.

It's a Ultrasparc [I think!] running Solaris. Or maybe Irix. But I think it's solaris.

The dmesg thing just gave me a bunch of failed network connections, and the other two things didn't work at all.

Any other grand ideas?

Start with uname then

You could look for /var/run/dmesg.boot or just try again shortly after a reboot, if that's possible.

Alrighty. Well, it' running SunOS 5.8. We don't call it solaris anymore, or are those different things? Sheeeeesh.

And I didn't see a ../dmesg.boot file. Man. Boo.

That's otherwise known as solaris 8. Try prtdiag -v.

taking a look at var/log/dmesg works for several distros.

Well...even if you can't find the dmesg file in /var/log/, you can always use the dmesg command, just type dmesg and you should be able to see the output. Now for command line that usually does it, if you want to see some spec...if you are in the Sun Java Desktop environment (which is GNOME really)...you could maybe use gnome system monitor to see some system specs if it's an available program.

He already did. The buffer was overflowed from run time messages.
