Get serial number or XO name from command line or python

[LASKE, Lionel (C2S)]

Hi all,

Thanks for all your answers. The serial was exactly what I expected. Great.
About the "XO name", my question was not clear. What I'm looking for is the name in the Sugar Control Panel (Me). 
Any way to get it ?

Regards.

	Lionel.

There's no need to spawn a shell, and then spawn cat inside a shell.
Python knows how to open files:

print open("/ofw/serial-number").readline().strip()
