Your box may only have 2 physical processors, but /proc/cpuinfo actually displays cores, so if you have 2-dual core processors than procinfo correctly displayed 4 processors. -Troy -----Original Message----- From: redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Dana Holland Sent: Wednesday, May 09, 2007 10:12 AM To: General Red Hat Linux discussion list Subject: how many processors How can you tell how many processors a server has?

So, what is the correct way to tell? -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
