I would like to find an application or design a batch file, or any other similar solution, that will gather relavant system information for a user. Ultimately I would like to have two such command-line-executables in the system directory (or any PATH folder), one that will display the desired variables (currently only system name and ip address) on the screen for the user to read, and a second option to automatically generate an email and send it to a default address containing this information.
The first thing I came across in looking for a solution to this need was BGinfo, where I could use a secondary batch file to run with the desired switches for display. That may work...I'm going to have to dig to get the info, and just the info that I want out of it in the manner that I want. Alternative suggestions would be appreciated, or details on getting this done with BGInfo prior to further digging.
The second isn't priority as the first is. For the second option the ability to email the system info automatically appended into the message body and with a default email address would be great, though this wouldn't work for everyone since some users' issues will lack a connection.
