It’s good to have these commands here as a reference, but it’s annoying when running `.osx` on multiple computers in the same network.

Interesting, but might be better to use the serial number. In case you have more machines.

ioreg -l | grep IOPlatformSerialNumber | sed -e 's/.*\"\(.*\)\"/\1/'

Good point. But since I know I won't have a lots of machine, it suits my need :)
Anyway thanks for the tip.
