Dell warranty checking script

[Joshua Daniel Franklin]

Very nice--a lot like Seth Vidal's script but with dmidecode and
nagios exit codes:
http://linux.duke.edu/~skvidal/misc/dell-warranty-query/

You might add ability for a verbose option to also output the service
tag, system
type, and maybe more.


Somewhat unrelated--but if anyone at Dell is listening, I'd also still
like a web
service to query warranty status like this Apple JSON one:
<https://selfsolve.apple.com/Warranty.do?serialNumber=W844502QPNZ&country=USA&fullCountryName=United%20States>
