Hi,

Couldn't stay unsubscribed, so I'm back.


Hello :-)



I have a script that I use on multiple machines. I would like to individualize the script on a machine basis. And not have to create a different script for each machine.

Is there a command (or series of commands) that will identify different machines?, NOT different OSes.

TIA,


Assuming:

1. every machine targeted by your script has an ethernet card,
2. none of those computers uses some tricks for changing its MAC address,
3. those computers are running under OS 10

something like this one-liner could perhaps meet your requirements:

(words 2 thru -1 of (do shell script "ifconfig en0 | grep 'ether'")) as string


HTH,
Axel
