ia64 hp-ux 11.31 need system config

[chisle]

we have been running:

echo 'echo itick_per_usec/D'|adb -k /stand/vmunix /dev/mem

to obtain the cpu clock speed on our PA-RISK systems. However, that won't work with this version of adb on 11.31, and probably not with this architecture.

i realize that 'machinfo' provides this information, but it is heavily formatted.

How can I find just the values of the following on an ia64 system running 11.31?

memory (amount)
cpu quantity
cpu speed
serial number

Like I said, you can get it human-readable from 'machinfo,' but to program around that output could be a little too much fun, so if you have a quick peek/poke that works, that would be good.

Two commands will get you the info:

# print_manifest | grep -e Memory -e Processor
Main Memory: 8171 MB
Proccesor(0) Speed: 399 MHz
Proccesor(1) Speed: 399 MHz

# getconf MACHINE_SERIAL
USE0808AEN

print_manifest is part of the Ignite-UX package. If it isn't on all your HP-UX systems, download it immediately from:

It's pretty simple with awk. You select some keyword on the line the print the field number:
awk '/keyword/ {print "field 5", $5 }'

Hi Erik,
Its pretty easy to get only the required information from machinfo. The following grep would do.

machinfo | egrep "Memory: | Machine serial number: | processors "

yep, got it, folks. I was hoping to get something a little more peek/pokey, and the closest response was the first one. The others work well too.

In either case, I've got what I need, now. thank you all so much!
