Tried to search but can't find anything. Is there an unix equivalent to right clicking / properties on My Computer to see things like memory, cpu speed etc ?

    Saying 'Unix' is a bit too broad as there are many Unix based operating systems. The procedure will be different for Linux, Solaris, HPUX, AIX, etc.

    Many current distributions have this packages (lshw) available for installation without needing to build from source.

  • Its a nice tool but you might want to mention that it is Linux specific.

dmidecode should work on most *nix systems, although it takes some translating. There's also biosdecode in the same package.

  • This is a great utility. It's like opening the box and peeking inside without the down time.

On Linux, such information can be found in /proc/meminfo and /proc/cpuinfo. It will be different on different systems.

On Solaris you would use commands such as

prtdiag

prtconf

psrinfo -v (CPU speed)

There are a few commands you might want to consider running, to see if they're available on your system: lsusb, lshw, lspci.

Be more specific -- what do you mean by Unix? Is this a Solaris box, HPUX machine, FreeBSD, RedHat Linux? That matters.

some other commands, depending on distributions lspci, hwclock, biosdecode etc. Also, have a look at man -k hardware, man -k cpu , etc

The following link has one code which get all the info for a server/system, but it works with RHEL/Fedora/Suse/Ubuntu. I havn't used it on any of the unix boxes so please try it out and let us know. Also what its output looks like on your system.
