how to find out wether my os is 32 bit or 64 bit. I am using Solaris 5.6.
also i want to know the difference between 32 bit and 64bit os.
any help will be much appreciated as i am in urgent need of this information
#/usr/bin/isainfo -b
Solaris 2.6 was 32 bit only.

How can this question be urgent ? Homework ?
No this is not a home work.( I am working in a support project)

We have contacted a database administrator for this purpose. So we are required to furnish some information to him.

also please let me know how this can be extracted in solaris 1.1.1
What is "this" ?
Are you really using Solaris 1.1.1 (SunOS 4.1.3_U1) machines ? Hint: that OS was released in 1991.
If isainfo does not work in Solaris 1.1.1 (sunos 4.1.3) then you can rest assured you are running 32bit .. 64bit was not introduced until Solaris 7
the urgent thing was to find out what the os is
the other thing was for my knowlefge gaining

Yes . These systems are very old . we are maintaining them as legacy systems and we are going to do away with them as soon as possible.
