Admins,


When I use monitor, is it using the same routine as uptime to determine load
averages. Also when you interpret load averages are they the average number
of processes queued per processor or are they what was run over the interval
per processor. How does this compare to run queue in collect. If I have a
load average of 2.0 does that indicate that I have 2* processor queued for
execution.. Just trying to get all of this straight in my head again.
