3 Here a few tips to GNU/Linux users who find themselves with accounts
4 on a [SunOS][]/[Solaris][] machine. The following are true of my
5 university's SunOS 5.10 machine, your mileage may vary.
7 List system information
8 =======================
10 `uname` hasn't changed:
13 SunOS 5.10 Generic_144489-11
15 List processor information
16 ==========================
18 What? No `/proc/cpuinfo`? Use `psrinfo`:
21 0 on-line since 01/07/2012 02:38:26
22 1 on-line since 01/07/2012 02:38:35
25 Status of virtual processor 0 as of: 02/13/2012 12:57:27
26 on-line since 01/07/2012 02:38:26.
27 The i386 processor operates at 3333 MHz,
28 and has an i387 compatible floating point processor.
34 Sun's X window server is `openwin`. I couldn't get a remote X server
35 running over SSH, but the usual X tunneling to my local server worked
38 Other interesting commands
39 ==========================
41 * `prtdiag`: print disagnostic information (vaguely similar to `lshw`)
42 * `prstat`: display process information (similar to `top`)
43 * `vmstat`: print virtual memory statistics (similar to `free`)
44 * `mpstat`: a per-processor version of `vmstat`
45 * `pgrep`: print process IDs by process name or other attributes
46 * `pfiles`: print files opened by a process
