We are using the LOAD AVERAGE Driver (LAVDRIVER) along with the Garland Finger Program. Does anyone know how to interpret the load average value that is displayed with Finger? Peter Kanaitis System Manager Allegheny-Singer Research Institute Pittsburgh, PA X979PK0P@CMCCVB.Bitnet

The load average is the number of compute bound processes (excluding NULL) averaged over a certain amount of time. With LAVDRIVER, the numbers from left to right are the 1-minute, 5-minute, and 15-minute averages. Cheers, Tony ;-) -------
