NAME
       System-Info -- shows system information and banners

SYNOPSIS
       System-Info [-S scripts_directory | --scripts scripts_directory]
       System-Info [-h | --help]

DESCRIPTION
       System-Info  displays  basic status information about the system: host-
       name, uptime, CPU, memory statistics, disk space	statistics, SSH	public
       key hashes, and networking information. Furthermore, it can be  config-
       ured to show one	or more	banners	(for example, a	project	name). System-
       Info can	be configured to be automatically run when logging in, provid-
       ing the user an up-to-date overview of the system.
       One  main  purpose  of  System-Info is to run on	login, to particularly
       show a nice login banner	(for example, a	project	or company  logo)  and
       then  present  the  basic system	information. For this purpose, System-
       Info can	be configured with banner scripts (by  default	looked	up  in
       /etc/system-info.d    or	  /usr/local/etc/system-info.d),   which   are
       processed in alphabetically descending order by file name, like:
       * 95-application-logo,
       * 90-project-logo,
       * 60-department-logo,
       * 50-company-logo,
       * 01-example.
       The names of all	scripts	MUST begin with	two decimal numbers. That  is,
       scripts must be named [0-9][0-9]... to be processed by System-Info!  If
       one  of	the  scripts  exits with non-zero exit code, the processing of
       further banner scripts is stopped. This can be used for	preconfiguring
       a system	for example with a department and company logo,	where the com-
       pany logo script	terminates further processing. A modified system for a
       certain project can add a project logo as well. The project logo	script
       may  terminate  further	processing, not	showing	department and company
       logos. This may be combined with	packaging scripts, for example	adding
       an  application logo as part of the application's install package (like
       adding a	script 95-application-logo).

ARGUMENTS
       The following options are available:

       -S scripts_directory | --scripts	scripts_directory
