Get motherboard serial Number of local system.

[Niraj Pendal]

Hey folks,

I want local machine's hardware information mainly motherboard serial number.
Application is running on Linux.

Is there any way so that I can get main board’s serial number without Running external commands “Runtime.getRuntime().exec()” .



Thanks in Advance.

try to see this link, it may help you with direct java code:

other option is by native call.
