[LinuxBIOS] [PATCH] lbsysinfo -- tool to gather system information

[Uwe Hermann]

Hi,

here's a small and simple shell script which I've been using for a while
now to gather information about my boards (which might be useful for
LinuxBIOS development).

It's basically just running a list of command line tools and dumps their
output on stdout. Nothing fancy, but it saves lots of time.

Usage (as root for maximum information):

  $ ./lbsysinfo > foo.txt

Also very useful for development is comparing the output of the script from
the vendor BIOS with the output from LinuxBIOS.

If we feel this is useful, we could add it as util/lbsysinfo/lbsysinfo.


NOTE: I do _not_ want this to be used for any kind of automated spamming
of the mailing list or some such thing. It should only be run manually
by users or developers, and the output should only be sent to the
mailing list if explicitly requested by an LB developer (IMO).

We do certainly _not_ want to mention this on Slashdot and be drowned
in useless dumps from random people.


Uwe.
