I am writing a shell script that has to distinguish between a Sun4/260 and
a Sun4/490. The 'arch' command returns 'sun4' on both machines. Is there
a way, other than motd, that I can type the same command on either machine
and know which type Sun4 machine I am on? Thanks.
[[Ed's Note: A shell script was posted in v8n202 which could be used to
tell the type of the machine that the command was invoked from. At the
time, it was out of date (didn't support the Sparc machines) so I imagine
that it's still out of date, however, it would probably be a good starting
point if nothing else. -bdg]]

Here is the best script of this type I've seen. It can't get out of date because it decodes <machine/cpu.h>.

Here's a program which will do what you need - it will even say what kind of floating point processor (if any) you have. [[Ed's Note: This one's pretty nice too, so I'll include it in the archives along with the other machtype script. -bdg]] FTP: Hostname : titan.rice.edu (128.42.1.30) Directory: sun-source Filename : machtype.shar Filesize : 6038 bytes Archive Server Address: archive-server@rice.edu Archive Server Command: send sun-source machtype.shar
