determining the load on a system
I know that top reports the load, but what other command line utility will display the load on a system running Solaris 2.6?
Thanks,
Chuck

sar (see man sar) is also good but is more complex and may take you longer to learn. I recommend playing with it because it is usefull for so many other things. A basic command you can start with is sar 5 5. This will show you some basic info every five seconds for 25 seconds.

try this:

w

this will show who is on the system and also display
load averages, and how long the system has been up.
