Thank you both for the information. As I mentioned in my first email,
I'm actually doing anything with this information, I just like to see
what people are running when I get crash reports.

I assume you mean "not actually doing anything"?

Heh, yes. I am _not_ actually doing anything with it.

If you're really looking for a broad swath of information, I would encourage you to consider invoking system_profiler(8), and ioreg(8). The combination of these two will tell you far more than you ever wanted to know about your customers' systems.

Oh yes, that would be far more than I'd ever want to know and possibly more than they'd care to send me. The model of the processor, the number of them, their speed, the version of the OS and the amount of RAM they have installed is about all I was really looking for. Plus,


$ time system_profiler > /dev/null

real	0m4.025s
user	0m0.753s
sys	0m0.639s

That's more time than I'd care to take on start up. I appreciate the suggestions though. I've been using Gestalt and figured I should maybe move to some newer interface.
