TLOAD(1) User Commands TLOAD(1)NAME
tload - graphic representation of system load average
SYNOPSIS
tload [options] [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 -s, --scale number
The scale option allows a vertical scale to be specified for the display (in characters between graph ticks); thus, a smaller value
represents a larger scale, and vice versa.
-d, --delay seconds
The delay sets the delay between graph updates in seconds.
-h, --help
Display this help text.
-V, --version
Display version information and exit.
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.

I understand the numbers displayed in variable "load average". My question: what are the correct/ideal numbers?
Sometimes, I got less than 1. Others, above 6.
Also, what HW/SW should I tune in order to have the ideal numbers?
Thank you ... (1 Reply)

Hi folks,
I tried to load a copy of redhat from CD to an HP6640C. The system reads the first disk and offers me a choice to use the graphic load or the text load. I selct either one and the system seems to start reading the disk then it reboots.
It does not give me any errors and except that... (0 Replies)

load average normally about 20.

operations on filesystem and database average load

Hello, Here is the output of top command. My understanding here is,
the load average 0.03 in last 1 min, 0.02 is in last 5 min, 0.00 is in last 15 min.
By seeing this load average, When can we say that, the system load averge is too high?
When can we say that, load average is medium/low??... (8 Replies)

Hi,
I am trying to understand what would happen if ther is a loop without any delay like sleep statement, I feel that would add a lot of load onto the CPU. Trying to understand how the load is reduced by the introduction of sleep().
Thanks and regards
