Subject: how do I use "arch" to determine which processor I am on

Hi All:


I need to write a script file that will allow me to determine which
processor architecture I am on before I take action 1 or action 2

the "arch" command under linux (returns "i686" and "ppc") can do this
but how do I evaluate its return/set it up?

Any pointers to writing bash scripts would be appreciated as well
Thanks
