Very Computer

Hello!

How do I know Processor/CPU characteristics on running machine? Except of
banner or without a reset. Sometimes dmesg|grep cpu shows something.

Thanks in advance

On most machines, psrinfo -v
If on sun4u, /usr/platform/sun4u/sbin/prtdiag

psrinfo -v

Thanks

If on Solaris 9, /usr/sbin/prtdiag (and about time too!)

Goulash is not rocket science

If on Solaris 8 and lazy,

# sed -e 's/eeprom/prtdiag/g' </usr/sbin/eeprom >/usr/sbin/prtdiag
# chmod 555 /usr/sbin/prtdiag

Which is to say, just adapt an existing wrapper.

Darn right with the "about time", though.  Something that easy should've
been done a long time ago.

.... however it still only works on sun4u machines. I have an LX running 9
and it spits out the following;

bash-2.05$ /usr/sbin/prtdiag
prtdiag: not implemented on SUNW,SPARCstation-LX

bummer

        SUN isn't known for being particularly swift on the uptake, Rich.

You and your agenda...

They're pretty good at the big stuff, software-wise (at least, unlike some
of their competitors, they're _better_ than their marketing :-).  But this
isn't the first time that little, easy stuff took them much longer than it
should have.

        I don't have an "agenda".  My currency is facts.

        Like creating a proper keyboard or figuring out that NIS and DNS are
two different things.  :-(

                Hope this helps,

mpstat gives the statistics per process....

apologize for confusion on above line. if you want the shell command
substitution those are backticks (back-ticks?, backquotes or whatever you
call them)... usually the un-escaped character under tilde on pc-style
keyboards.

 /usr/platform/`uname -m`/sbin/prtdiag

From memory the only platform where prtdiag exists and where `uname -m`
wont return sun4u is on an E10K running Solaris 2.5.1, where it will return
sun4u1.  So whilst the longer version is the more correct, I'd recommend
using the shorter version. (Some non-Sun platforms may be the other
exception)

Under Solaris 9 there's now a shell script /usr/sbin/prtdiag which runs
the correct version.

while we're nitpicking - the man page on prtdiag (for Solaris < 9)
recommends /usr/platform/'uname -i'/sbin/prtdiag

You're wrong (usually it's Chris' job to point this out :). It also
exists on sun4d architectures (SPARCserver 1000/SPARCcenter 2000).

And that's good. It'll reduce the traffic in c.u.s. significantly :)
