Standard method to retrieve processor speed on HPUX 11.31

[Gowhar Jan]

Hi,

adb and itick_per_usec/D combination don't always yield the same results as machinfo for retrieving processor speed. On HPUX 11.23, there was a known issue around this and a patch available as well. What about HPUX 11.31? I'd like to know what's the standard method to retrieve processor speed on HPUX by using a command other than adb. Thanks!

Hi:

# machinfo

I need to use a script to extract the Processor Speed before processing it further. Do you suggest to parse the output of machinfo command for this purpose?

The older version of machinfo used to return results that were straightforward to parse but thats not the case anymore.

Anything is parseable. Please post your output.

I agree anything is parseable but if there is a slight change in machinfo output, the parsing script goes for a toss.

Following are the first few lines of machinfo output i'm intersted in:

------------
CPU info:
1 PA-RISC 8800 processor (1 GHz, 64 MB)
CPU version 5
2 logical processors (2 per socket)
------------

Looking at these, i'll have to search for "GHz" and extract the digits backwards till i encounter a "(". Isn't there a cleaner method on HPUX, say, a command invocation with some parameters that return the Processor Speed, e.g., using getconf etc?

PROC_SPEED=`echo itick_per_usec/D | adb -o /stand/vmunix /dev/kmem |awk -F: 'NR>1 {print $2}'`

Hi (again):

Given your last post, you might do:

# machinfo | perl -nle 'm{processor\s*\(\s*(\d+\s*GHz)}i and print $1'

Thanks James!!!
