Anything that you execute using shell_exec() is going to execute on the
server, not the client. I'm failing to see what use the motherboard
serial number of the server is going to provide you with but that is
neither here nor there. How often is this number really going to
change? Wouldn't you be better off storing this stuff in say, an XML
file rather than trying to read it some how through php? That's just my
opinion, I almost never use shell_exec(), as it seems unnecessary to me
for almost any web app.
