MACHINE

[Marielle Lange]

Hi Richmond,

On a Mac, you can get all these machines info via a call on the shell.

Fold older mac version, use Ken's code:
<http://www.sonsothunder.com/devres/revolution/tips/env001.htm>

For newest OS, the call on the shell is:
system_profiler SPNetworkDataType|grep -e "MAC Address:"|awk '{print  
$0}'

(replace "MAC Address" with the information you are after... see:  
<http://wiki.osx86project.org/wiki/index.php/System_Profiler> for  
possible tag names).

Best wishes,
marielle
