On HP-UX we use the uname() function in our own proprietary licensing software

Which we have developed. One of the values it returns is the ‘idnumber’,

Which contains a unique identification number for each physical machine in which it is run.

 

Using this same function on Red Hat 8.0 the ‘idnumber’ field does not exist.

Does anyone know of an alternative way of getting such a idnumber ?

I’ve been doing some searching and have not come up with anything.

 

Thank you,
