System Profiler
In order to list the hardware inventory of your Apple Computer you can
run System Profiler.appout of /Applications/Utilities.
In a shell you enter:
system_profiler
you get output like this on an
iBook G4,
iBook G4 mid 2005,
iMac gen2,
Xserver,
G5
or Mac Mini.
You can add the profile of your Apple to this via:
system_profiler -detailLevel mini | mail system_profiler_output@osxterminal.com
Copy/paste this line into a terminal window.
OS X Version 10.3 will include your systems serial number. I will filter it or if a 10.4 output is
available use that one instead.
system_profiler -listDataTypes
will generate a list of possible datatypes:
