I tend to request the minimum from system_profiler and clean it further in ruby…
# this will quickly return all MAC Address's
en_all = `system_profiler SPNetworkDataType | grep 'MAC'`
# then use a regular expression to clean up
ary = en_all.chomp!.gsub("\n", ',').gsub(/\s+(Hardware)* \(*MAC\)* Address: /, '').split(',')

Hello,
Checking my new knowledge. I expect the below command returns the report I’ve built from the above link.
command
str_report = `system_profiler SPHardwareDataType SPParallelATADataType SPEthernetDataType SPDisplaysDataType SPMemoryDataType`

Am I right - SPEthernetDataType is meant to return eth[0] only - ?
if so how much time does the command take?
flt_start_time = Time.new().to_f
str_report = `system_profiler SPHardwareDataType SPParallelATADataType SPEthernetDataType SPDisplaysDataType SPMemoryDataType`
flt_end_time = Time.new().to_f
int_elapsed_time = ((flt_end_time - flt_end_time)*1000).to_i
str_out = "with system_profiler report\n elapsed time " +
int_elapsed_time.to_s + "\n str.len " + str_report.length.to_s +
"\n ary.len " + str_report.split("\n").length.to_s + "\nend with"
puts str_out
Have a good week-end
WhyDi
yes, but without any unique identifier…
after modifying int_elapsed_time = (flt_end_time - flt_start_time).round(3).to_s + ' seconds'
your code returns
with system_profiler report
elapsed time 1.221285 seconds
str.len 2411
ary.len 101
end with
with a targeted approach to get unique information using grep with the -e flag…
flt_start_time = Time.new().to_f
str_report = `system_profiler SPNetworkDataType SPHardwareDataType |
grep -e 'MAC' -e 'Serial Number (system)' -e 'Hardware UUID:'`
flt_end_time = Time.new().to_f
int_elapsed_time = (flt_end_time - flt_start_time).round(3).to_s + ' seconds'
str_out = "with system_profiler report\n elapsed time " +
int_elapsed_time + "\n str.len " + str_report.length.to_s +
"\n ary.len " + str_report.split("\n").length.to_s + "\nend with"
puts str_out
with system_profiler report
elapsed time 0.592 seconds
str.len 229
ary.len 5
end with
and the concise output looks like this… [modified results for privacy]

OSX as slow as Windows!
get lost! what does -e flag stand for?
do each Mac have at least ethernet[0] filled?
WhyDi
-e pattern, --regexp=pattern
Specify a pattern used during the search of the input: an input
line is selected if it matches any of the specified patterns.
This option is most useful when multiple -e options are used to
specify multiple patterns, or when a pattern begins with a dash
(`-').
there are now many mac’s without an ethernet port, maybe @slbaumgartner knows if it’s used internally…
my strategy would be to store 4 or 5 items, but subsequently run as licensed if 2 or more get matched…
john
Hello,
I like your strategy. Perhaps adding HDD serial number…
waiting for @slbaumgartner …
I’ve got grep manual. so smart grep but too much at the time!
What do you think about ioreg replacing system_profiler? lower level, quicker.
from the web…
https://www.mikemackintosh.com/quickest-way-to-query-mac-serial-numbers/
ioreg -rd1 -c IOPlatformExpertDevice | grep -E '(UUID)'
ioreg -l | grep IOMACAddress
ioreg -l | grep IOPlatformSerialNumber | awk '{print $4}'
can we compact several commands on one line as system_profiler does?
WhyDi
Starting a few years ago, Apple stopped putting a separate Ethernet RJ-45 port onto many models and instead required an adapter plugged into either a Thunderbolt or USB-C port. On my MacBook Pro, the Thunderbolt Ethernet shows up in the system_profiler output, but it does not have a MAC address unless the adapter is attached to the mac (it doesn’t have to be connected to an actual ethernet, just attached to the mac). In contrast, the Wi-Fi always has a MAC address, even if Wi-Fi is turned off.
I don’t know about every Mac model, but I suspect this behavior is the same.
Steve and John thanks for your time this Sunday. I appreciate.
Regarding MacAddress
All this making John strategy the only available. Good news is I know ‘what’. One less thing to worry. Bad news is far more work and I no longer see my next week-end off! but your willingness is worth.
I hope ioreg able to save some second tenth and elegantly get UUID and CPU and HDD and SYSTEM serial numbers even step by step.
WhyDi
I haven’t really keep up with this thread, but I recall seeing wmic, shell redirection, MAC Address, Drive SerialNumber, etc. Old code, revised a bit for this, only tested on Win7 & SU2017.
Maybe Win32Ole? If that’s okay, try the following:
# load '<path to this>'
require 'win32ole'
locator = WIN32OLE.new("WbemScripting.SWbemLocator")
wmi = locator.ConnectServer(".", "/root/cimv2")
adapters = wmi.ExecQuery("Select * from Win32_NetworkAdapterConfiguration")
drives = wmi.ExecQuery("Select * from Win32_DiskDrive")
ctr = 0 ; item0 = nil
puts "\n#{'-' * 20} Adapter Info"
adapters.each { |net|
if net.MACAddress
item0 = net if ctr == 0 ; ctr += 1
puts "#{net.MACAddress} #{net.IPEnabled.to_s.ljust(6)} #{(net.IPAddress || []).join(' ')}"
end
}
if item0
puts "\n#{'-' * 20} Adapter Properties"
item0.properties_.each { |prop| puts prop.Name }
end
ctr = 0 ; item0 = nil
puts "\n#{'-' * 20} Drive Info"
drives.each { |drv|
if drv.SerialNumber
item0 = drv if ctr == 0 ; ctr += 1
puts "#{drv.SerialNumber.strip.ljust(20)} #{drv.Description.ljust(20)} #{drv.InterfaceType}"
end
}
if item0
puts "\n#{'-' * 20} Drive Properties"
item0.properties_.each { |prop| puts prop.Name }
end
Hello,
Great MSP_Greg! it works fine SketchUp 17, 16, 15 and 14. no black window shown.
As far as I remember @DanRathbun made a paper about installing win32ole on SketchUp08 and SketchUp13 but I’m no longer able to find the link. Backward compatibility require such install.
Does anyone remember or explain how to install.
[EDIT] I’ve got the link
Win32API and Win32OLE so files

Hello,
oh yes! like this. Quite acceptable.
digressing a bit
I’m after a way of loading system default client-mail from Ruby with backward compatibility down to SketchUp 8 and cross-platform of course.
I would like to avoid html code. so right from Ruby code.
Maybe I’d better opening a new thread?
WhyDi
a new thread is a good idea and maybe add some more details of what your trying to do…
you will have issues finding the right code for 4 versions of ruby on 2 platforms…
john
Too much! I agree with with you
cross-platform Html mailto: should easily feel our need.
Just one dialog more to build. not so hard at all.
see you soon
Hello,
may you run the following command on the mac
and tell me what’s the output? does it work?
any way to do with system_profiler?
Have a good day

then something about system_profiler
on beta-tester computers I got the following from command
`system_profiler SPHardwareDataType`
