[mod.computers.vax] CONTROL-T and LOAD info

LEICHTER-JERRY@YALE.ARPA.UUCP (03/14/87)

    In earlier versions of VMS (4.2 and before I think), typing CONTROL-T
    displayed a "LOAD factor" which gave some idea of how busy the machine
    was....

No version of VMS has ever had such a standard feature.  It's not very hard
to add, if you are into that kind of hacking.  Someone must have done that
with the system you used to use.

Note that VMS doesn't compute a load average as such - you'd have to do that
part yourself.  (There are plenty of - undocumented - statistics around; a
look at the fiche for MONITOR would give you a start, I suppose.)
