DESCRIPTION
hwprefs inspects and controls low-level system and processor parameters
-v verbose mode
-h display help message
cpu_count={1..N}
number of processors available for use by MacOS X
cpu_enable {1..N}
enable a specific processor
cpu_disable {1..N}
disable a specific processor
cpu_nap={true, false}
processor nap
cpu_l2_cache={true, false}
processor L2 cache
cpu_l3_cache={true, false}
processor L3 cache
cpu_hwprefetch={0, 4, 8}
prefetch engines used by hardware prefetcher (PPC970 only):
0 - all prefetch engines disabled, DST instructions treated as NOPs
4 - four automatic hardware prefetch engines, four used by DST instructions
8 - eight automatic hardware prefetch engines, DST instructions treated as NOPs
cpu_nop_dsts={true, false}
treat DST instructions as nops
memctl_readbypass={true, false}
memory controller (U3 only) read-bypass optimization (allows read commands to memory to bypass straight to read memory request
queue, saving a significant number of cycles)
os_class
displays OS class {Cheetah, Puma, Jaguar, Smeagol, Panther, Tiger}
os_type displays operating system type
machine_type

cpu_type

true(1) General Commands Manual true(1)NAME
true, false - Returns a standard exit value
SYNOPSIS
true
false
STANDARDS
Interfaces documented on this reference page conform to industry standards as follows:
true: XCU5.0
false: XCU5.0
Refer to the standards(5) reference page for more information about industry standards and associated tags.
DESCRIPTION
The true command returns a 0 (zero) exit value. The false command returns a nonzero exit value. These commands are usually used in input to
shell commands.
NOTES
The special built-in utility : (colon) is sometimes more efficient than the true command.
EXIT STATUS
[Tru64 UNIX] The nonzero value returned by the false command may vary from system to system.
EXAMPLES
To construct a loop in a shell procedure, enter: while true do date sleep 60 done
This procedure displays the date and time once a minute. To stop it, press the Interrupt key sequence.

Commands: csh(1), ksh(1), Bourne Shell sh(1b), POSIX shell sh(1p)

Just a quick last minute thing here.
AIX 5.1. I ran the perl script referenced in the tutorials and found the AIX box is triggering DST on the 14th instead of the 11th. The 5.2 boxes come back with the right answers. The DST patches have been applied (or I'd have Apr 1st instead of the 14th).
