Check the processor bits
Hi Friends,

The command to check the processor bits is :

getconf KERNEL_BITS

but this is not working in ksh.

Is there any other alternate command that can be used for the same purpose .

Hi Jim,

Below is the error that i am getting :

>getconf KERNEL_BITS
getconf: 3016-021 Specified variable is not valid on this system.


The unix is AIX unix ...(is this what you want).... or let me know if u need any more info.

You can use "prtconf | grep Type". It will give you whether the processor is 32 or 64 bits and the same for current running kernel.
