This probably seems totally useless to most, but i've got a specific need to open the "About This Mac" dialog from within Terminal. Any idea if its possible?
I suppose AppleScript might be the way to - what I need to do is for quality control purposes take a photo of the Mac booted into its desktop and the About This Mac screen includes its spec and serial number for proof. I suppose for a total hands off way of doing this, opening it, screenshotting it and then sending e-mail the screenshot or sending to Dropbox etc would probably be idea - I guess a screenshot is just as good as a photo with my iPhone.
Any input into either method would be excellent.
1Thanks Chad, yeah I wanted to prove the computer boot to desktop when it's with us really, so the last part there seems ideal (though granted it could be photoshopped obviously but still, its better than nothing) – realdannys – 2015-06-05T20:39:59.500
