I am finally going to be free this summer starting in two weeks to do a little programming on the side, before and after my field training. I am interested in a System Information program. I don't know how many of you have used Norton Utilities, WinProbe, Quarterdeck Manifest, or hell, even MSD (Microsoft Debugging Utilit - comes with MSDOS), but I believe we could all make like easier on each other if we had a standard way of reporting the information of a system. So I guess I have two questions. One, does something like this exist out there?? And two, I have noticed most of the information is already on the system, through various means such as /dev/kmem or /proc, the info given from the netstat, df, and dmesg commands, and through a listing of all the /lib stuff (for vers of libc etc). Does this sound like a project that needs to be taken up? I believe that the future development of kernels would be greatly aided with a program like this, possible with an option to mail a concise list of this stuff to an address. Just curious, and if you have any thoughts, let me know.
