It's far from ideal, but these Unix commands can help:
$ hostinfo
Mach kernel version:
Darwin Kernel Version 7.8.0:
Wed Dec 22 14:26:17 PST 2004; root:xnu/xnu-517.11.1.obj~1/RELEASE_PPC
Kernel configured for a single processor only.
1 processor is physically available.
Processor type: ppc7450 (PowerPC 7450)
Processor active: 0
Primary memory available: 768.00 megabytes.
Default processor set: 91 tasks, 214 threads, 1 processors
Load average: 1.20, Mach factor: 0.31
$ sw_vers
ProductName: Mac OS X
ProductVersion: 10.3.8
BuildVersion: 7U16
This information can give a decent overview. If you want to send this as
a Unix command to all hosts, `hostinfo ; sw_vers` will work.
If you want *much* more detail, look at the `system_profiler` command. I
won't post the output here, as it's much too long, but with this you can
basically learn anything that the graphical Apple System Profiler can
tell you -- hardware information, system software, applications, etc.
There's no manpage, but `system_profiler -h` will give usage guidelines.
