- [Instructor] Hi and welcome to the next video
of the last section, Gathering System Information.
In the previous video, we learned how
to send messages to user terminals.
This video will show you different sources
in a Linux system to gather information about the system.
Collecting information about the current system
from the command line is very important
in logging system data.
The different system information data includes host name,
kernel version, Linux distro name, CPU information,
memory information, disk partition information, and so on.
In order to print the host name of the current system use...

Print the total memory RAM available
in the system as follows.
In order to list out the partitions information
available on the system, use...
Get the entire details about the system as follows.
Awesome, we've successfully learned
how to gather system information.
In the next video, we'll learn about using /proc
