command to know the bit information of OS
How to know the bit information of different OS, since "isainfo -kv" shows the bit information of solaris.

It would be helpful, if there is some comand to know the above.

Thanks,
Alok

32 vs 64 bit do you mean?
Here are outputs of a 11.23 itanium and a 11.00 K class
For HP-UX: (11 & above)
Code:
od:/home/vbe $ getconf KERNEL_BITS                                                          
64
co:/home/vbe $ getconf KERNEL_BITS
32

It doesn't map exactly across systems the way you would think.
Try the UNIX rosetta stone.
Try:
Rosetta Stone for Unix

Do a find on this page for "isainfo" As you scroll left<->right you will see similar commands for getting architecture information for a lot of different unixes.

getconf is a better choice if that is what the OP wants.
