Hello all, I have a question about load averages.
I've read the man pages for the uptime and w command for two or three different flavors of Unix (Red Hat, Tru64, Solaris). All of them agree that in the output of the 2 aforementioned commands, you are given the load average for the box, but... (3 Replies)

the load average 0.03 in last 1 min, 0.02 is in last 5 min, 0.00 is in last 15 min.

tload
TLOAD(1) Linux User's Manual TLOAD(1)NAME
tload - graphic representation of system load average
SYNOPSIS
tload [-V] [-s scale] [ -d delay ] [tty]
DESCRIPTION
tload prints a graph of the current system load average to the specified tty (or the tty of the tload process if none is specified).
Options
The -s scale option allows a vertical scale to be specified for the display (in characters between graph ticks); thus, a smaller value rep-
resents a larger scale, and vice versa.
The -d delay sets the delay between graph updates in seconds.
FILES
/proc/loadavg load average information
SEE ALSO ps(1), top(1), uptime(1), w(1)BUGS
The -d delay option sets the time argument for an alarm(2); if -d 0 is specified, the alarm is set to 0, which will never send the SIGALRM
and update the display.
