MAC Hardware ID for Photoshop script

[Polycontrast]

In the MAC OSX platform what are the options to identify the hardware where the files are processed?

For instance can the computer model be obtained through the javascript or ESTK?

I looked into the Photoshop environment variables and found the ones listed in the screenshot but nothing that identifies the hardware.

[JJMack]

On Windows Photoshop System Info had a lot of information about ones hardware I would think the same type of information about you mac would be there.  A script should be able to get that information.  Other Hardware information most likely could obtained through your Mac OS features and commands.

Here is the beginning of my ]Windows Photoshop system Info.

The app.systemInformation call is what you are looking for.

It should provide info similar to what JJMack​ pasted above for OSX as well.​

[Polycontrast]

app.systemInformation has a lot of interesting spec. I am trying to find an approach to identify the computer where the files are processed in a multi computer environment. My idea to have each computer write to a master cvs file the date, time number of files, file processing recipe  and computer name/model/work station. The part that I can not figure out is how to identify  the computer in the script. The app.systemInforamtion does not include the computer name.  

[SuperMerlin]

You could try this script....

var tmpFile= File(Folder.temp + "/env.txt");

var cmd = "env > " + tmpFile.fsName;

app.system(cmd);

tmpFile.execute();

$.sleep(300);

tmpFile.remove();

It should open a text document with a list of enviroment variables

Only tested with Windows but should work with a Mac.

[sidpalas]

I think SuperMerlin​'s approach of writing the system command result to a text file might be the way to go.

If you just want the computer name though instead of all the environment variables you could use "scutil --get ComputerName" (in OSX).

Wrapping with a function to make it easier to use (example here) gives:

#target photoshop
function getSystemCommandStdout (command)  
{  
    var stdout = "";  
    var tempFile = new File (Folder.temp + "/temp.txt");  
    app.system (command + " > " + tempFile.fsName);  
    if (tempFile.open ("r"))  
    {  
        stdout = tempFile.read ();  
        tempFile.close ();  
        tempFile.remove ();  
    }  
    return stdout;  
}  
var computerName = getSystemCommandStdout("scutil --get ComputerName")
$.writeln(computerName)

[JJMack]

I find no "scutil" command on my windows sysyem system may be on OSX  but  this work for me on windows

#target photoshop

function getSystemCommandStdout (command)  

{  

    var stdout = "";  

    var tempFile = new File (Folder.temp + "/temp.txt");  

    app.system (command + " > " + tempFile.fsName);  

    if (tempFile.open ("r"))  

    {  

        stdout = tempFile.read ();  

        tempFile.close ();  

        tempFile.remove ();  

    }  

    return stdout;  

}  

var computerName = getSystemCommandStdout("echo %COMPUTERNAME%");

$.writeln(computerName);

alert(computerName);

[SuperMerlin]

There is no need for all that code if you want an enviroment variable. I.E.

alert($.getenv("computername"));

[JJMack]

Maybe some day I will learn JavaScript, osx, windows and photoshop however, I do not believe I can. My eyes cross whenever I see a regular expression.

[sidpalas]

The environment variable COMPUTERNAME exists in Windows, but I dont think the computer name is stored in any environment variables for OSX which is why I resorted to using scutil.

[SuperMerlin]

Thats why I suggested looking at all the variables, to see what is there.

[JJMack · Accepted solution]

So a hack like this may work on both platforms.

#target photoshop 

function getSystemCommandStdout (command)   

{   

    var stdout = "";   

    var tempFile = new File (Folder.temp + "/temp.txt");   

    app.system (command + " > " + tempFile.fsName);   

    if (tempFile.open ("r"))   

    {   

        stdout = tempFile.read ();   

        tempFile.close ();   

        tempFile.remove ();   

    }   

    return stdout;   

}   

if ($.os.match(/windows/i)) var computerName = getSystemCommandStdout("echo %COMPUTERNAME%"); 

else var computerName = getSystemCommandStdout("scutil --get ComputerName"); 

$.writeln(computerName);

JJ Mack thanks!  Your code work and returns the computer name in the mac platform.

A big thanks to all  who contributed answer to the question.

You guys are awesome and and deserve to be mentioned because of your inclination to help and share knowledge.   

[Polycontrast]

Thank you sidpalas, the code works and returns the computer name.

[JJMack]

I do not seem to have an "env" command on my windows machine but command set with no parameters will list all environment  variables and one can get computername from that. Or you can use command "echo %COMPUTERNAME%"

var tmpFile= File(Folder.temp + "/env.txt");

var cmd = "set > " + tmpFile.fsName;

app.system(cmd);

tmpFile.execute();

$.sleep(300);

tmpFile.remove();

[Polycontrast]

Thank you SuperMerlin.  your code does work on a Mac,
