What SSH Command Shows Operating System Bit It Is Running (32 or 64)? 1

[kennygadams]

The following command returns the version of Red Hat that is running but it does not show if it is the 32-bit or 64-bit.

cat /etc/redhat-release

How do I determine whether this server is running a 32-bit version or 64-bit version?

You can either try uname -a to check the version of the running kernel or rpm -q kernel. With both command, take note of the string if it contains i386/i586/i686(32bit) or x86_64(64bit).

Okay, it returned:

i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

Does that mean 64-bit?

if it contains i386/i586/i686(32bit)
