Arduino Project: iPhone to HM-10 BLE to NB-IoT Shield to NB-IoT Network to Internet to Linux Server

Yeah, I think it is really nice we can build a custom iPhone app which does not use WIFI or a direct network connection to the Internet to get server / network management data on the other side of the world.
Of course, the sky is the limit, and some people might like home or factory automation and other person might want to control a server, like force a reboot (of course the app would need some built in access controls), etc.
Here in Thailand, we can drive around in the country side in our car, without direct Internet access, and can push a button on our iPhone to get remote server stats via BLE.
.... and I built the prototype in a very short period of time.
I'm not trying to advocate BLE or NB-IoT (or even the Arduino, per se; instead this test just demonstrates one possibility of nearly infinite possibilities for creative makers.
For this app, I think I'll create a few more "mini-apps" via the push button command console (and then post the sketch) and move on to testing another Arduino / shield module.

system_profiler
SYSTEM_PROFILER(8) BSD System Manager's Manual SYSTEM_PROFILER(8) NAME
system_profiler -- reports system hardware and software configuration. SYNOPSIS
system_profiler [-usage] system_profiler [-listDataTypes] system_profiler [-xml] dataType1 ... dataTypeN system_profiler [-xml] [-detailLevel level] DESCRIPTION
system_profiler reports on the hardware and software configuration of the system. It can generate plain text reports or XML reports which can be opened with System Information.app Progress and error messages are printed to stderr while actual report data is printed to stdout. Redirect stderr to /dev/null to suppress progress and error messages. The following options are available: -xml Generates a report in XML format. If the XML report is redirected to a file with a ".spx" suffix that file can be opened with System Information.app. -listDataTypes Lists the available datatypes. -detailLevel level Specifies the level of detail for the report: mini report with no personal information basic basic hardware and network information full all available information -timeout Specifies the maximum time to wait in seconds for results. If some information is not available within the specified time limit then an incomplete or partial report will be generated. The default timeout is 180 seconds. Specifying a time- out of 0 means no timeout. -usage Prints usage info and examples. EXAMPLES
system_profiler Generates a text report with the standard detail level. system_profiler -detailLevel mini Generates a short report containing no personal information. system_profiler -listDataTypes Shows a list of the available data types. system_profiler SPSoftwareDataType SPNetworkDataType Generates a text report containing only software and network data. system_profiler -xml > MyReport.spx Creates a XML file which can be opened by System Profiler.app AUTHORS
