how many processors

[Dana Holland]

Hadn't thought of that.  I need to know the number for licensing 
purposes - I'm buying Tivoli client licenses, and the pricing is per CPU.

I ran the "dmidecode -t processor" command that someone recommended - it 
brings back 2 entries for "Central Processor" - I'm assuming those are 
the entries for the CPUs?
