How to find Linux architecture

VK2COT — Sat, 12 Aug 2006 19:51:55 GMT

Hello,

I am writing a Perl script for Operations Acceptance Testing for Linux (at this stage
Red Hat and SuSE distributions).

Alas, I do not have access to AMD64 or IA64 (Itanium) based servers.

Can any kind soul send the results of the following commands for AMD64 and IA64 on
Linux:

uname -a
cat /proc/cpuinfo
arch

Or even a result of uname() in Perl script...

Maybe there is even a simpler
command-line way to detect the
architecture of a LInux server?

I would appreciate any help very much.

The OAT script will be public-domain
(the same way I did in my private time
for HP-UX, Solaris and MP RAS Unix :)).

Best wishes from sunny Sydney down-under,

VK2COT

(it's currently down for maintenance at the moment)

It gives you access to a whole range of platforms running different.. well.. everything ;)

The results of uname's and cpuinfo's are in this forum already, just do a search, i.e.:
