    Is there a UNIX command to display hardware info?

    Hi,

    I want to know what hardware (processor, memory) a server is running, is there a unix command to show this information?

    Thank you.

    Run a cat on any of the virtual files in /proc.....that will tell you what you need to know. Each statistic is kept in its own virtual file.

          Do you need root for the proc command?
          Eventhough it's a dedi server there are zero files in the proc folder, I don't have a su pass though.

            Phpsysinfo is rather useful for viewing hardware info, and current resource utilization from a browser.


            If you don't have shell access, or aren't comfortable using one, this should do most of what you need.
