I am trying to audit our company's network of *nix machines to find
candidates for replacement for newer faster models. I basically want
write a script that logs in, executes some commands, and saves the
appropriate info. Perl is certainly up to the task, so that isn't a
problem. I'm just not sure how to grab the appropriate cpu info from our
FreeBSD machines. Linux has `cat /proc/cpuinfo` but I can't think
of anything similar in FreeBSD.
I am most of the way there, I have everything I need except the speed of
the cpu(s) in MHz. Anybody know a quick and easy way to grab the cpu speed
on a machine without rebooting it? I can do a lot with sysctl
to get memory resources and the number of cpu's, but a listing for
speed has thus far eluded me.
# sysctl hw.physmem
# sysctl hw.ncpu
Tell me most of what I want to know, but hw.model is not specific enough
for my purposes. Am I overlooking a sysctl variable, or is there some
other utility I could use? Anyone have a suggestion?
Obviously this stuff would be in the boot messages of these machines, but
these machines are in production, and I would rather not reboot them. And
because of that 'darned' stability that FreeBSD has, the boot messages
have long ago been wiped out of dmesg.yesterday and dmesg.today. ;)
Any pointers would be appreciated. Please cc: me, as I am subscribed to
stable, but not questions.
