A little unix help please :-)
 

Hello unix nerds, do you know the unix command to display hardware info such as memory and cpu ?

Thanks a lot !

Nils

ps. do not feel offended about the "nerds" part... I am one myself :-)

Which flavor of unix?

its freebsd

thanks

dmesg will give you the detected hardware config from the last start-up.

Thanks !!:thumbsup

Nice to see you posting on GFY finally!

The ' dmesg ' command will give you the console boot
log. Within the top few lines are the CPU and installed
memory. This most likely what you are looking for since
it also tells all the driver devices loaded with the kernel.
It's going to be 2-4 pages so pipe it through the more
or use the scroll lock to back page. ' dmesg | more '

but if you need some realtime monitoring...

The ' systat -vmstat ' command will give you the memory
manager stats in real time.

The ' top ' command at the top of the console will give
you CPU utilization in loads and the overview report of
memory allocation and at the bottom running processess.

The FreeBSD email discussion groups are archived at
docs.freebsd.org , they have a search message base
option there so that you don't gunk up GFY with
distrobution specific questions in the future. If you
can't find your answers there then feel free to hit me
up.
