TLOAD(1)		     Linux User's Manual		     TLOAD(1)



NAME
       tload - graphic representation of system load average

SYNOPSIS
       tload [-V] [-s scale] [ -d delay ] [tty]

DESCRIPTION
       tload  prints a graph of the current system load average to the speci-
       fied tty (or the tty of the tload process if none is specified).

   Options
       The -s scale option allows a vertical scale to be  specified  for  the
       display	(in  characters	 between  graph ticks); thus, a smaller value
       represents a larger scale, and vice versa.

       The -d delay sets the delay between graph updates in seconds.


FILES
       /proc/loadavg load average information


SEE ALSO
       ps(1), top(1), uptime(1), w(1)


BUGS
       The -d delay option sets the time argument for an alarm(2); if -d 0 is
       specified,  the	alarm  is set to 0, which will never send the SIGALRM
       and update the display.
