Hello,
On my own test system (which is running Ubuntu 16.04 LTS x86_64) this script does basically appear to work. At any rate, it certainly doesn't generate any false positives for me when run at the shell as a non-privileged user, and the values it's getting for load appear to be genuine and sensible.
So, if you could provide the full crontab entry from which the script is run, then it'll be possible to look at that as a source of the issues next.
Again though: if you do have a Nagios environment, using its own load monitoring plugins is a much, much better idea. Honestly, if you have a Nagios server and the ability to add your server to it, you're just re-inventing the wheel here for no real gain whatsoever by writing your own script.

test::needsdisplay
Test::NeedsDisplay(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation Test::NeedsDisplay(3pm)
NAME
Test::NeedsDisplay - Ensure that tests needing a display have one
SYNOPSIS
In your Makefile.PL...
use inc::Module::Install;
# ... or whatever else you use
# Check for a display
use Test::NeedsDisplay;
# ... your Makefile.PL content as normal
And again in each test script that loads Wx
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use Test::NeedsDisplay;
# Test content as normal...
DESCRIPTION
When testing GUI applications, sometimes applications or modules absolutely insist on a display, even just to load a module without
actually showing any objects.
Regardless, this makes GUI applications pretty much impossible to build and test on headless or automated systems. And it fails to the
point of not even running the Makefile.PL script because a dependency needs a display so it can be loaded to find a version.
In these situations, what is needed is a fake display.
The "Test::NeedsDisplay" module will search around and try to find a way to load some sort of display that can be used for the testing.
Strategies for Finding a Display
At this time, only a single method is used (and a very simple one).
Debian Linux has a script called "xvfb-run" which is a wrapper for the "xvfb", a virtual X server which uses the linux frame buffer.
When loaded without a viable display, the module will re-exec the same script using something like (for example) "xvfb-run test.t".
As such, it should be loaded as early as possible, before anything has a chance to change script parameters. These params will be resent
through to the script again.
METHODS
There are no methods. You simply use the module as early as possible, probably right after "use strict;" and make sure to load it with only
default params.
Specifically, need must always load it before you set the test plan, otherwise the test script will report two plans, and the harness will
complain about it and die.
# Use it like this ...
use Test::NeedsDisplay;
# ... not like this ...
use Test::NeedsDisplay 'anything';
# ... and not like this.
use Test::NeedsDisplay ();
And that's all there is to do. The module will take care of the rest.
TO DO
- Find alternative ways to launch a display on different platforms
