Show operating system, current user & network
I have found an excellent OS X pref pane that allows you to output log files or terminal commands/scripts onto the desktop in the background.
What I want to do is create a script that outputs the following...
- Mac OS X Version and Build (As shown in the about this mac)
- Current username
- Current network ports and their associated IP addresses.
- Current machine or hostname
- Attached Volumes
So an example output would be
Mac OS X 10.5.5 Build 9F33
JonDoe
en0 192.168.0.1
en1 192.168.0.2
computer.local <or> computer.mydomain.com
#: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER
0: GUID_partition_scheme *111.8 Gi disk0
1: EFI 200.0 Mi disk0s1
2: Apple_HFS Macintosh HD 88.9 Gi disk0s2
3: Microsoft Basic Data WINDOWS 22.6 Gi disk0s3
Could someone help or point me at the right commands and how to output it.
I know diskutil will show me the volumes etc but the rest I am unsure of.
Thanks in advance

rcinet(8) System Manager's Manual rcinet(8)
NAME
rcinet - Restarts, starts, or stops Internet network services on the system
SYNOPSIS
/usr/sbin/rcinet option
OPTIONS
You must specify one of the following options with the rcinet command: Restarts the network on the system. Starts the network on the sys-
tem. Stops the network on the system.
You can restrict the restart, start, or stop operation to either IPv4 or IPv6 networks by specifying inet or inet6, respectively, as the
second parameter. By default, the script assumes both IPv4 and IPv6.
DESCRIPTION
The rcinet script allows system administrators to restart, start, or stop the Internet network services on the system while it is running
in multiuser mode by using one of the options.
RESTRICTIONS
Superuser privilege is required.
Warn users that the system is being removed from the network.
File systems that were not mounted using the /etc/fstab file or the automount command must be unmounted with the umount command. You must
remount these file systems using the mount command after the network is started on your system.
ERRORS
The rcinet script prints an error message to stderr if the network is not configured on the system.
FILES
The network shell scripts are located in /sbin/init.d with symbolic links in /sbin/rc0.d and /sbin/rc3.d.

Commands: mount(8)
