| trouble with sysinfo
Hey guys I'm having some trouble with getting the sysinfo command to work in Ubuntu.
Can anyone tell me how I can view the output of the sysinfo command when ssh'd into my box? |

| The output there indicates the utility is trying to use GTK, which means more or less it's wanting to be run under a terminal that's run under X, or possibly talk to it.
Someone more familiar with sysinfo would have to comment. Either it's trying to talk "to" X (probably via the $DISPLAY variable), or X support needs to be disabled for the probe (maybe a command-line option?)

| you know what.. i ran sysinfo from the terminal in X and a gui version came up.. I am wonder if there is a way to just get a text based output so I can see the system specs if I happen to be ssh'd into the box.
I've searched everywhere and cannot find a solution. |

Have you looked at `/proc' There are oodles of data which may have the information you're seeking.
Cheers,

The command does not return any output to the screen unless -q or -v are specified.
