Those
numbers indicate the number of processes that are ready to be in the run state
at any given time (i.e. processes in sleep states, wait states, etc. are not
counted). If You have load averages of 1 or better, then the machine is normally
always doing something. The one thing that can really throw that off is that
processes that are waiting on I/O are also counted as being in the run
state. If You're running an NFS server (obviously not in this case) and are
having network problems, a whole lot of processes can collect which will be
counted for the load average, but they might be doing nothing more than waiting
for a response from a client, which puts no load on the CPU.

Betreff: [FW-1] Load averages on the Nokia platform
I have a question regarding the Nokia platform... when you type uptime into the command prompt you get the following output:-' 4:54PM up 87 days, 8:15, 2 users, load averages: 1.00, 1.02, 1.00 'Would anyone know what the three numbers at the end of this statement mean? I know they are load averages... but what does each one do?Thankyou in advance for help with this matter.Regards,
