What is the correct way to identify which version of SunOS is currently running?
I have a bunch of (rather large i.e. >100MB) comma separated files which needs sorting on 4 processor box with SunOS 5.10
Sort appears to run rather slow (minutes)
I am wondering if there is any way to speed things up, for example making use of more than one processor/core or perhaps by just using some clever sort options?
PS: I am using the entire line as a key so just sort filename > filename.sorted
Our SPARC server is running Sun Solaris 10; I would like to find out the actual number of processors and the number of cores for each processor.
The output of psrinfo and prtdiag is ambiguous:
$psrinfo -v
Status of virtual processor 0 as of: dd/mm/yyyy hh:mm:ss
on-line since dd/mm/yyyy hh:mm:ss.
The sparcv9 processor operates at 1592 MHz,
and has a sparcv9 floating point processor.
Status of virtual processor 1 as of: dd/mm/yyyy hh:mm:ss
on-line since dd/mm/yyyy hh:mm:ss.
The sparcv9 processor operates at 1592 MHz,
and has a sparcv9 floating point processor.
Status of virtual processor 2 as of: dd/mm/yyyy hh:mm:ss
on-line since dd/mm/yyyy hh:mm:ss.
The sparcv9 processor operates at 1592 MHz,
and has a sparcv9 floating point processor.
Status of virtual processor 3 as of: dd/mm/yyyy hh:mm:ss
on-line since dd/mm/yyyy hh:mm:ss.

What other methods can I use?
EDITED:
It looks like we have a 4 processor system with one core each:
$psrinfo -p
4

$psrinfo -pv
