Sending info from one mac to another

[sketch]

I want to build a centralized inventory system using scripted output system_profiler.

How do I send the output from one machine to another (so I can then import it into a database)?

Edit: it looks like nc (netcat) may very well do the trick I need. Maybe.

Is something like Arek’s Centralized logging what you’re looking for? Or perhaps an scp command in your script? i.e.:

scp -r /path/to/file user@remote.machine:"/path/to/remote/location"

OOH! I was unaware of scp. Thanks! 😀

No, this isn’t for centralized logging, this is for centralized system profiling/asset management.
