hi,  
In solaris, psrinfo gives number of cpu in use/online and so on.  
What is the equivalent command for "psrinfo" in Suse Linux ?

Thx

HI,  
I tried that before however i doubt if it gives the status of current cpu availability.

cpuinfo gives me the below output, From that, how do I know the current status / busyness of cpu. overall we have 4 cpus, one of my process is CPU intensive. Instead of running my process on single CPU, I would like to share with number of AVAILABLE(for processing) cpus.

processor : 4  
vendor\_id : AuthenticAMD  
cpu family : 15
