Run System Profiler from the Terminal -- revisited
Authored by: matx666 on Jun 20, '03 02:56:14PM

"AppleSystemProfiler" used to work in Jaguar and only recently they must have changed it. Now if you run this command it launches the actual app. Weird. I noticed this change recently. I wonder which update did this, 10.2.6?

works just fine here under 10.2.6, as does
AppleSystemProfiler
which dumps the results to stdout.

Yes, the GUI Apple System Profiler.app application launches, but it is just used to gather the results. The information gathered can be redirected to a text file, dumped into the shell, or grepped/awked for finer output or specific information.
