The uname Command Outputs B.11.11
new at 11i
original release
The uname command for identifying the version of HP-UX that your system is running
will return the following version name on an 11i system:
B.11.11
To guarantee compatibility on current and future platforms, you can use the new
interfaces to getconf and confstr to retrieve unique machine identifiers. For more
information, see the manpages and in Chapter 13, “Programming,” in the section
“Machine Identifier Changes to confstr” on page 227. See the getconf (1) and confstr (3C)
manpages for more information on these commands.
You can also determine what versions of software and patches are installed on your
system by using the following swlist command:
$ /usr/sbin/swlist -l bundle
New Option for top
A new -h option to the top command is provided to suppress the individual CPU state
information for multiprocessor systems. If the -h option is specified, only the average of
all CPU activities will be displayed.
The change enables top to display more processes on a standard (80x24) screen without
the screen being dominated by state information of individual CPUs.
The top (1) manpage has been updated to include the new option.
