I don't think that is correct since I have had a system at 50.75 and it responded fine...
If you look at top it is interesting since lets say you have 50 processes 48 sleeping 2 running 0 zombie 0 stopped that gives me a load average of 0.03 on my system when taking the CPU state of 99.5% idle. I think it is an average of how many processes are ready to run so 1.28 would be 1 or so? -matt chapman -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, October 11, 2002 3:05 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: uptime On Fri, Oct 11, 2002 at 01:44:55PM -0500, scott.list wrote: > Hi guys: > > can someone explain the what the load averages numbers mean for the > uptime command > > i.e. 1:42pm up 4:31, 1 user, load average: 1.28, 1.09, 1.06 > > I know what the three are, but what does 1.28 mean? 1.28% of 100% > load, 128% of max? What DOES the 1.28 reflect? FDrom the man page: uptime gives a one line display of the following information. The current time, how long the system has been running, how many users are currently logged on, and the system load averages for the past 1, 5, and 15 minutes. so from your output you had a utilization of 128% for the past 1 minute, 109 % for the last five, abd 106 % for the last 15 minutes. Congratulations. You're getting more out of your system then you should be able to. :-) hmmm - maybe this calculation sould use some refinenet.
