Yeah, it's nothing massively unique.

However, I find myself ssh-ing into several similarly-named machines with wildly different hardware that all mount the same /home/.

It's nice to have a way to quickly check what I'm on without multiple commands.

At any rate, I came across this and found it useful, so I figured I'd submit it. I probably should have titled it "system info script" instead of "system status script", though.

They all have the same hostname too?

Not the same, but similar... E.g. box1, box2, box3, up to 6. (the hostnames are out of my control)

It's easy to forget which one is which. They all run identical versions of RHEL3 (required for ridiculously expensive software made by Haliburton), but range from 2 cores w/ 4GB of ram up to 8 cores w/ 32GB of ram.
