NAME¶
/proc/loadavg - load average
DESCRIPTION¶
- /proc/loadavg
- The first three fields in this file are load average figures giving the
number of jobs in the run queue (state R) or waiting for disk I/O (state
D) averaged over 1, 5, and 15 minutes. They are the same as the load
average numbers given by uptime(1) and other programs. The fourth
field consists of two numbers separated by a slash (/). The first of these
is the number of currently runnable kernel scheduling entities (processes,
threads). The value after the slash is the number of kernel scheduling
entities that currently exist on the system. The fifth field is the PID of
the process that was most recently created on the system.
