Dell Warranty check

Hi,

I've been looking for a url like that without having to log in so I
could do the following:

#!/bin/bash

# run as root, with sudo, or /usr/sbin/dmidecode must be setuid root

serial=`/usr/sbin/dmidecode | grep -i "Serial Number" | head -1 | awk
-F' ' '{print $3}'`
daysLeft=`wget -q
"http://support.euro.dell.com/support/topics/topic.aspx/emea/shared/support/my_systems_info/en/details?ServiceTag=${serial}"
-O - | grep contract_table | awk -F'<td' '{print $12}' | awk -F'>'
'{print $2}' | awk -F'<' '{print $1}'`
if [[ -n $daysLeft ]]; then
        echo $daysLeft
else
        daysLeft=`wget -q
"http://support.euro.dell.com/support/topics/topic.aspx/emea/shared/support/my_systems_info/en/details?ServiceTag=${serial}"
-O - | grep contract_table | awk -F'<td' '{print $12}' | awk -F'>'
'{print $4}' | awk -F'<' '{print $1}'`
        echo $daysLeft
fi

Thanks,
