What API is nproc calling on Solaris to get the "number of processing units" ?
What happens when it is run in a Zone that is part of a processor pool ? I think the "-a" output won't actually be "all installed".
My concern here is that this command could depending how it is implemented be very misleading on Solaris because of the processor virualisation and resource management functionality we have.
At the moment I'm not suggested it be dropped or its documentation be changed in anyway, just trying to understand it it has a chance of giving the user a reasonable (ideally actually correct) answer.
