My Linux version Linux version 2.6.18-164.2.1.el5PAE

Maybe some one have script (ksh,perl or bash etc) that can get all info from Linux system and display it.

For example

   cpu
   memory
   disks

Use:

lspci (list all PCI devices)
lsusb (list USB devices)
lshw (list hardware)
hwinfo (Hardware identification system)
dmidecode (tool for dumping a computer's DMI (some say SMBIOS))
lm-sensors (read temperature/voltage/fan sensors)
smartmontools (show S.M.A.R.T.)

You can add fdisk -l (disks), free -m (RAM). – Andrea Spadaccini Feb 03 '11 at 14:06

From Wikipedia: "S.M.A.R.T. (Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting Technology; sometimes written as SMART) is a monitoring system for computer hard disk drives to detect and report on various indicators of reliability, in the hope of anticipating failures." – Lekensteyn Feb 03 '11 at 14:32

I don't have this kind of script but:

lspci (list of pci devices, package pciutils)
lsusb (list of usb devices, package usbutils)
cat /proc/cpuinfo (processor info)
cat /proc/meminfo (memory info)
fdisk -l, cat /proc/partitions (list of partitions)
cat /proc/mdstat (raid status)
hdparm -I /dev/sd* (detail information about disk)
lm-sensors (voltage and temperature sensors on motherboard)
hddtemp (temperature of disks)
mpt-status (scsi monitoring)
...

You can use a number of command-line tools for that, namely: dmidecode, lspci and lsusb. lsusb lists your USB devices, lspci lists your PCI devices (including internal ones) and dmidecode lists information from SMBIOS table (it provides info about your memory banks, mainboard, BIOS, PCI bus cotrollers, fans, CPU, etc).

The guys here did a good job, but I can add:

dmesg | less to view the kernel messages. It can tell you a lot about your hardware.

There is a Linux-Hardware.org's hw-probe utility: https://github.com/linuxhw/hw-probe

Use this Docker image in order to probe your hardware without the need to install anything on your host except Docker.

The probe includes outputs of popular Linux diagnostics tools (like smartctl, memtester, etc.), hardware listers (hwinfo, dmidecode, biosdecode, etc.), and system logs (Xorg.log, dmesg, etc.).

Probe example: https://linux-hardware.org/?probe=0b29192f95

I'm the author of this project, feel free to ask any questions in the comments.
