How to get the sysinfo number and version of IRIX of your SGI machine.

1) Find out what version of IRIX you are running. Type " uname -R <Enter> " in a UNIX shell. The following is an example of what you should see:

unix_prompt> uname -R

6.5 6.5.4f

The displayed number (in this example "6.5.4f") is the version of IRIX which your machine is currently running.

2) If your IRIX version is 6.5 or newer:

Type "/etc/sysinfo -s <Enter>" in a UNIX shell. NOTE: You need to use the -s option. The following is an example of what you should see:

unix_prompt> /etc/sysinfo -s

1762299450

This resulting number is the Sysinfo number which you should send us.

If your IRIX version is OLDER than 6.5 then:

Type "/etc/sysinfo <Enter> " in a UNIX shell. The following is an example of what you should see:

unix_prompt> /etc/sysinfo
