Getting Your Kernel’s Tick In Fedora 10

I put Fedora 10 since I’m not sure if this will work in all the GNU/Linux distros out there, though I’m sure it will work on most. Anyway if you guys want to know if youre kernel is running at 1000MHz just type in this command.

grep CONFIG_HZ /boot/config-`uname -r`

And the output should look like this.

[root@localhost ~]# grep CONFIG_HZ /boot/config-`uname -r`
# CONFIG_HZ_100 is not set
# CONFIG_HZ_250 is not set
# CONFIG_HZ_300 is not set
CONFIG_HZ_1000=y
CONFIG_HZ=1000
[root@localhost ~]#

Hope that’s helpful!
