[ubuntu-in] How to check if a running process is a 32 or 64 bit image?

[Bhavani Shankar R]

How do I check if a running process is a 32 bit or 64 bit image/program? I'm
running Hardy amd64. For example, if I compile a small executable with "gcc
-m32" or something like that?
I would like to check some running processes like Firefox and
OpenOffice.org...

Hello vishal:
It depends on the kernel you are using
If you have 64bit  kernel then the processes running will be 64 bit
To know the kernel version type the below command in a terminal

uname -a

If its 32bit then in the output it will be i686 GNU/Linux
If it is 64bit then in the output it will be x86 64 GNU/Linux
