Hi All,
I'm trying to find an easy way to gather system serial numbers and
model numbers without physically looking at the tag in the front of the
computer. Something similar to "prtconf" in AIX. Does anyone know how
to get this information? I would prefer not to have to install
applications as it is needed on hundreds of systems across a few sites.
Please let me know. Thanks

The closest thing to a serial number on a PC is the HWADDR of the ethernet
card, do ifconfig eth0 to get that. You can get CPU info with
cat /proc/cpuinfo
lspci will tell you about the rest of the devices.
