I will need to find a different approach to this.
Thanks for your help. I appreciate it.

I see. So you are saying that the function is supposed to work that way.

Thank you. That helps me getting going in the right direction.

I need to find a way to query the OS (on Linux or Unix) to get details about the host machines processor type and the primary hard drive serial number. Is this possible?

Thank you for any Guru...
