3 loads.d \- print load averages. Uses DTrace.
7 These are the same load averages that the "uptime" command prints.
8 The purpose of this script is to demonstrate fetching these values
9 from the DTrace language.
11 The first field is the 1 minute average, the second is the 5 minute,
12 and the third is the 15 minute average. The value represents the average
13 number of runnable threads in the system, a value higher than your
14 CPU (core/hwthread) count may be a sign of CPU saturation.
16 Since this uses DTrace, only the root user or users with the
17 dtrace_kernel privilege can run this command.
21 unstable - uses kernel symbols, which may change for a future version
30 See the DTraceToolkit for further documentation under the
31 Docs directory. The DTraceToolkit docs may include full worked
