Hi all,

I have access to a remote server via SSH. I would like to know if there is any possible way to find out the speed and type of CPU and available memory via command line. Is it possible? If yes, how?

Despite all that, it's not standard. And who says the original poster has the ability to install software on the machine he's SSH-ing to? Or that it's even available -- because it isn't on my 10.1 system, and install nearly all the software available in a SuSE distro (except for most of the CJK stuff, which I have no need for, and it takes up a lot of space). I wouldn't rely on something that's not universal for something so basic. /proc is both universal on Linux machines, and also being adopted on Unix flavors, too. (/proc is an idea ported from the Plan 9 OS)

YaST can't find it to install it.

Funny, I installed it yesterday using "yast2 sw_single" from the 10.3 OSS repository. But what do I know. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

What you don't know from the words written is what operating system anyone up thread is using. I reread the whole thread, and found neither the OP nor anyone else before you mention it. Apparently x86info is something repositories for versions prior to 10.3 lack. -- " A patriot without religion . . . is as great a paradox, as an honest man without the fear of God."

x86info isn't standard. /proc filesystem is.

x86info gives more info than /proc. Source is available. less, more, and cat aren't part of the Linux kernel, so /proc/ may be standard, but almost anyway you examine it is non-standard by your definition. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

And cat is unavailable on what Unix or Linux systems?

guess you haven't enabled the use in your bios.

No, there is no option in BIOS to "enable" complete 4GB. It is a Lenovo Thinkpad Z61p and with PAE-enabled (standard-SUSE) 32bit kernel and 64bit kernel it doesn't recognize my memory!

I may be wrong, but I believe that 32bit cannot.

My BIOS does not have an "enable" for "complete 4GB", it has:

H/W memory hole Remapping This field enables hardware to remap the physical memory to the addresses higher than 00E0. (This item only activates in 64-bit OS) Setting options: [Disabled],[Enabled].

S/W memory hole Remapping This field enables software to remap the physical memory to the address higher than 00E0. (This item only activates in 64-bit OS) Setting options: [Disabled],[Enabled].

It doesn't matter how you call this! ;-) Yes, i know. but Lenovos BIOS doesn't have this memory hole remapping. This memory hole is because of PCI BUS mapped in the area above 3GB.
