UPDATE: ThinGuy pointed out a much better (and supported) way of doing this:
$ /opt/SUNWut/sbin/utfwload ... 25.0 peteh 129.156.46.246 P8.00144f6f72ea 4.0_37_2007.05.10.15.16 25.1 peteh 129.156.46.194 P8.00144f668b01 4.0_37_2007.05.10.15.16 ... $
See also:
utfwload (1m) -M /opt/SUNWut/man utquery (1m) -M /opt/SUNWut/man utdesktop (1m) -M /opt/SUNWut/man
Original text follows
This is as much a reminder for me as a reference for anyone else, our excellent Sun Ray technology has some undocumented features, including this one for getting the firmware of your head(s):
$ /opt/SUNWut/bin/utwho ... 5 Payflex.aaa user1 6 OpenPlatform.xxx peteh 7 OpenPlatform.bbbb user2 ... $ echo "status tokenName=OpenPlatform.xxx" | /opt/SUNWut/lib/utnetpipe localhost 7010 | egrep "firmware|terminalId=" terminalId=SunRayP8-270.00144f6f72ea firmware=VPN_02_2007.03.28.16.40 terminalId=SunRayP8-270.00144f668b01 firmware=VPN_02_2007.03.28.16.40 $
That firmware is, AFAICT, similar to the recently released Sun Ray Software 4 Update 2 Open Beta. The integrated VPN means that it's even easier to use Sun Ray at home - no extra VPN box needed.
I use Sun Ray for almost all of my day to day work at Sun. The only reason I don't use Sun Ray at home is I'm yet to convince my other half that I need (a) a neat looking screen/keyboard/mouse in our study, and (b) an even easier way of working than using my laptop - ie Pete will spend even more time working!
I wonder if product marketing have picked up on that? Sun Ray is so good your other half won't let you have one at home as it makes working from home so much easier

ThinGuy asks if there's anything wrong with the supported commands:
Nope, I just didn't know about them. I'm not a Sun Ray admin and my cursory reading of the documentation and SunSolve didn't come across them. I found the blogged commands through Google.
Thanks for the info - blog entry will be updated shortly.
