Tru64 managers,
    This isn't specifically a Tru64 question but more a general UNIX
question. Could someone please give an accurate definition of load average
or some links to resources which might provide the same? I am attempting to
explain to management why a load average of 20, yes 20!, is a bad thing.

Thanks,

Allen Belk
