Finding number of CPUs.
 

Is there any way to find the number of CPUs in Linux. The sar command (sar -cuq 5 ) gives the average values of all the CPUs present. Is there any other command or system file from where I can get the individual CPU count and its values. Plz help me.

Thanks and Regards,

I am on a one-processor machine right now but you can look in the proc directory

ls /proc | grep cpu

cat /proc/cpuinfo

Thanks for the reply.

I want to know one more thing. the sar command "sar -cuq 5" gives the output for all the CPUs. is there anyother way to get the values for each CPU?
