ch_cpuinfo is a command-line utility designed to easily retrieve CPU information from Synology DiskStation Manager (DSM) systems running versions 5.x, 6.x, and 7.x. The primary objective is to provide a straightforward way to access details such as CPU name and core count, which can be useful for system monitoring, troubleshooting, and hardware verification. The tool leverages shell scripting for its functionality.
The tool provides a simple and direct method for obtaining CPU information without navigating through the DSM interface. It supports multiple DSM versions, ensuring compatibility across a range of Synology hardware. The script is designed to be easily deployed and executed on DSM systems, offering a convenient alternative to manual checks.
