linux command to get machine info?

[joecool]

i need to find out the basic hardware info about a bunch of linux boxes i have - cpu type/speed, amount of ram, etc. they are all running redhat 7.2. is there a basic linux command that will tell me this kind of stuff?

thanks,

joe

dmesg might give you the information you are looking for, but I haven't looked at a Linux dmesg in a while...

sweet, works. thanks!

 

[rmrf]

most of this can be found in the /proc directory. if you use a command like:

cat /proc/cpuinfo
cat /proc/meminfo

These will give you the info you want. If you do an ls on the /proc directory you will get the other options to try.

Good luck.

thanks, but my /proc dir is just full of a bunch of sub-dirs with numbers for names ... no cpuinfo, no meminfo. rats.
