Uses DTrace. +.SH SYNOPSIS +.B loads.d +.SH DESCRIPTION +These are the same load averages that the "uptime" command prints. +The purpose of this script is to demonstrate fetching these values +from the DTrace language. + +The first field is the 1 minute average, the second is the 5 minute, +and the third is the 15 minute average. The value represents the average +number of runnable threads in the system, a value higher than your +CPU (core/hwthread) count may be a sign of CPU saturation. + +Since this uses DTrace, only the root user or users with the +dtrace_kernel privilege can run this command. +.SH OS +Solaris +.SH STABILITY +unstable - uses kernel symbols, which may change for a future version +of this OS. +.SH EXAMPLES +.TP +Print load averages, +# +.B loads.d +.PP +.SH DOCUMENTATION +See the DTraceToolkit for further documentation under the +Docs directory.
