"uname -r" returns the "release" of the Operating System. On HP-UX, I get B.11.11. With SunOS, I get "5.8". That's close enough to be usuable. So this is an answer to the 2nd part of of question.

As for the first part, HP-UX has a command "getconf KERNEL_BITS" that will do exacyly what you want. Sun's getconf does not have this feature though.
