Actually /proc/cpuinfo should be easy to parse:
[root@mybox /tmp]# cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep processor processor : 0 processor : 1 processor : 2 processor : 3 Or add another pipe: [root@mybox /tmp]# cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep processor | wc -l 4 4 CPU's :) Regards, Andy.

Casting about in my single-CPU /proc, however, I don't see any obvious place where a second CPU would show up. That is, other than /proc/cpuinfo, but that looks annoying and unreliable to parse. Maybe look in the sources to top...? -kb -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
