Generic command for CPU info

sgoiffon · December 4, 2009, 10:43am

Dear all,

Is there any generic command working on all Unix listing the CPU of a server?

I found different command line per OS but I am looking for a more generic one.

Thanks for your answer.

Not 100% sure but you'll have a good chance with the sar command which is basically for performance monitoring. Options/switches can differ with OS though.

'top' command will give you the CPU info, memory usage, high cpu utilising processes etc

Is

~$ cat /proc/cpuinfo

generic enough?

Not aware of any generic way. dmidecode, mpstat, cat /proc/cpuinfo, ioscan |egrep -i processor, hmm don't recall AIX. many different versions of unix,- many different ways, "top" may be fairly generic on many platforms.
