getconf LONG_BIT will probably return the OS type installed, 64 bit or 32 bit OS. But grep lm /proc/cpuinfo, will show the CPU type. If grep lm /proc/cpuinfo returns output, it means you have a 64bit CPU. This is independent of the OS installed.
It can be further highlighted by grep --color=auto lm /proc/cpuinfo It will show you lm in red color (default). -- Regards, Nilesh Govindarajan Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/nilesh.gr Twitter: http://twitter.com/nileshgr Website: http://www.itech7.com VPS Hosting: http://www.itech7.com/a/vps -- l...@iitd - http://tinyurl.com/ycueutm
