[SunHELP] uptime

[Kovalev, Ivan]

It is average number of processes (jobs) in a run queue (how many jobs are
running now) for 1, 5 and 15 minutes. If you need up to the second snapshot,
do vmstat 1, watch for first column (ignore first line). This number
shouldn't go higher then 4-5 jobs per CPU.

Looking at your output, you had 2/100 of a job for last minute. That means
your machine is doing nothing and for about 50 minutes you will see all 0's
in run queue.

Hi, can you explain me what exactly means the "average load of jobs y queue"
when you make: `uptime`
hos1% uptime
 10:03am  up 8 day(s), 22:53,  4 users,  load average: 0.02, 0.03, 0.03
hos1% 
So how many jobs are really in queue?

bye
Mery
