Hey all, I'm trying to create an inventory script for systems that will be loaded via net-boot. I was wondering if there was any useful way to obtain the serial number of devices like the hard drives, processor, and/or motherboard. (as far as I can guess, those are the only things likely to store a serial number in a machine-readable format). I'm scripting in perl, but of course have nothing against making system calls to get at the low-level stuff. Please email me, as I'm not subscribed. -Dan -- <Belldandy> ha. you have not met me. <BaldDwarf> ha. but i have sene pictures <Belldandy> thanks but uh., <BaldDwarf> seen dammit!
