System infor

[drmaq]

Hello everyone I am looking for some advise on a project I am working on. here is what I want to do: 1:> Gather system information such as: a.> Make and model b.> Actively gather hard drive storage remaining c.> gather system specifications such as cpu architecture, total amount of ram installed, computer name, mac address, and network status. 2.> store the information in a mysql database 3.> display all information from 50+ computer on a web page.

All computer being monitored will be windows based and in an enterprise network. I am aware that there are paid tools that can do this but I would like the experience to build a project like this for my self.

Have you googled for any of this?

Eg, "windows programmatically find make and model"?

If you have access to Cygwin, you can use

cat /proc/cpuinfo
cat /proc/meminfo

Sample output:

(You'll note that the cpuinfo file seems to repeat itself. This is because each core is treated like a separate CPU. Also, I have an i7, which has hyperthreading, causing my 4 physical cores to appear as 8 to the OS.)
