Generic command for CPU info
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.
