Hi there,

I have accounts with several hosting companies and I would like to know what kind of machines they are using. Is there a way to do it?

From telnet access, I can get the hostname and Ram info. What about CPU and other info?

Thanks.

I use a PHP script called phpinfo to check, but I am sure there are much better ways than this :)

What operating system? On Linux you want to try these commands:

cat /proc/cpuinfo
cat /proc/meminfo
lspci
cat /proc/modules

I like phpsysinfo. :) It's a simple php script that shows you the current uptime, ethernet, floppy CPU and other handy in-fer-mation. For a demo you can check it out running on my site (http://www.spookymedia.com/sysinfo/), or there are a few demos on their offical website (http://phpsysinfo.sourceforge.net/).

Thank you guys. Both ways work.

I thought phpsysinfo is used by the server owner only. :o

Thanks again.
