    Default Display number of processors on linux

    Quick question - How do I display number of processors on linux?

    Simply use top command:
    Code:
    top
    Get info from /proc/cpuinfo with the help of grep command
    Code:
    grep -c processor /proc/cpuinfo

    correction

    Code:
    grep -c processor /proc/cpuinfo
    [/quote]

    right info for cpu

    grep CPU /proc/cpuinfo
    grep cpu /proc/cpuinfo

    and to see the process in the linux machine? start searching in /proc/ thats the one which does the heavy dirty work! and also make sure you know difference between process and threads. like process is when you run xmms it opens up 3 windows, xmms is a process and those 3 windows are threads, threads are not identical with processess.
    best way?
