get_server_details.rb

# Get server details
#
# Retrieve a list of hardware and print a report with server hostname, domain,
# login info, network, CPU, and RAM details.
# This script makes a single call to the getHardware() method in the
# SoftLayer_Account API service
# (http://sldn.softlayer.com/reference/services/SoftLayer_Account/getHardware)
# and uses an object mask to retrieve related information. It uses the
# SoftLayer API Ruby client
# <https://github.com/softlayer/softlayer-ruby> to handle API calls.
# See below for more details.
