Operating system details
How to get operating system details of a Unix box. I want to know if an OS is a 32 bit Os or a 64 bit OS. uname -aX does not provide this detail.

Thanks,
Rahul.

HPUX, getconf KERNEL_BITS
AIX, bootinfo -K OR ls -ld /unix , it should give /unix -> /usr/lib/boot/unix_64 if 64 bits
