Long time since I visited this thread.

I found this link which describes what I wish to do, BUT
http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/ssh-pu...on-how-to.html
as this machine has a low priviledge login, I can't do what I want to do.

I need some way to login as the low priviledge account, then
PHP Code:
su - sroot 
the command I wish to are like these...
PHP Code:
ifconfig | grep ^eth0 | awk '{print $5}'

echo "Serial: "; dmidecode | grep -i "serial number";
cat /proc/cpuinfo | egrep -i '(model name|cache)';
echo " ";    
cat /proc/cpuinfo | egrep -i '(cache)';
echo " ";
echo " ";
echo "RAM: "; cat /proc/meminfo | grep MemTotal | awk '{ print $2}';
fdisk -l | grep -i disk;    echo " ";    cat /proc/scsi/scsi | grep -i perc;

Perhaps I should temporarily create a root like account?
