On Linux, a simpler way can be to look at /proc/interrupts - e.g. (probably Linux-version- and possibly config-specific): $ (cat /proc/interrupts; sleep 10; cat /proc/interrupts) | \ awk '/timer/{prev=now; now=$2} END{printf "%dHz\n", int((now-prev)/10)}' Why there isn't a /proc entry or sysctl that gives the frequency directly I don't know... --Per Hedeland [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ questions mailing list questions@lists.ntp.org https://lists.ntp.org/mailman/listinfo/questions
