Hi there ... I'd vote for improving the manpage about --load:
| | Only difference is 0 which actually means 0. | Question: Does "--load 0" wait until the system is completely idle (0.00) or just as long as the load drops below 1 (0.x)? | | The load average is only sampled every 10 seconds to avoid | stressing small computers. | Question: How is the load sampled? top/uptime/etc. know load1/ load5/load15. Does GNU parallel look at one of these every 10s? I think the manpage shouldn't leave this as an exercise to the users and instead should be modified to answer these questions. Thomas
