Several people have already replied to you about this, but I wanted to
quickly clarify something as well. A couple of people told you you could do
something like:
if [ `grep processor /proc/cpuinfo | wc -l` -gt 1 ]; then
echo "SMP kernel"
else
echo "non SMP kernel"
fi
I would like to caution you against doing such a thing as it is potentially
dangerous... It is possible to have a SMP kernel, but only have one processor
installed. This will likely cause problems, so you would be much better off
to take the advice of the folks who said to use 'uname -a' or to grep in
/proc/version for "SMP".
