What we want is an reliable way to check overload ,and we especially accentuate it should be reliable,this method sounds a lttle rough,indeed it can check if system is overload,but is it very reliable for automatic check?and we hope to install the check program on the server or router itself,if so ,is it different? Thanks for you suggestion! swin. wang
