Hello,
Look friend, i am asking about a command like hardware scanner in windows, which can detect the hardware changes in the system. like device manager just right click on it and then click on scan for hardware changes.
Thanks

There's no unix utility that'll tell you your hardware has changed, unless you mean hotplugging (for which you need hotplug or udev).
You can use lspci to see some of your hardware info. And cat /proc/cpuinfo for information about your processor.
You should explain what kind of hardware change you mean, so i can answer properly.

Re:
Dear turab,
Salam,
Also take a look into this file which contain all hardware information.
# less /etc/sysconfig/hwconf
Also take a look into this utility.
