If it's a SMP box, you'll see the processor make but not speed. There has to be a userland process to view processor information, searching through dmesg won't always work (rollovers, etc) Unless there already is a userland tool to get all the CPU info for your BSD boxen? I found I needed this ability because I was conducting FPU tests on multiple platforms and ran into a problem documenting a SMP FreeBSD submission. - -Chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGPsdk version 1.7.1 (C) 1997-1999 Network Associates, Inc. and its affiliated companies. iQA/AwUBOKr0qnkOgeFubyAgEQLDzQCbBByj11dkvs40GAvlronCMVAYyTgAoOVH uDFMAA3YBa7qUQwP63EKJoqz =baE9 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
