Solaris

thank you all for all the answers..it was really very helpfull.

now i am trying to have only the number i.e only the numerical value that will represnt the virtual processor count out of the below command output:

Code:

 
bash-3.2#  psrinfo -pv | head -1
The physical processor has 1 virtual processor (0)

Code:

 
output required : 1

what will be the most effective way to get the numerical value out of it..i know this is very silly and basic question but i am beginner in the admin field

Simply count lines in "psrinfo":

Code:

psrinfo | wc -l
