Straight from the man page from top:
uptime
This line displays the time the system has been up,
and the three load averages for the system. The load
averages are the average number of process ready to
run during the last 1, 5 and 15 minutes. This line
is just like the output of uptime(1). The uptime
display may be toggled by the interactive l command.
This means that the perfect load for a box with one CPU is 1.00,
2.00 for a box with 2 CPUs, etc...
> Is it possible to translate this value into CPU Load in percentage? Thanks.
(x/n)*100
where x is the load value and n the number of processors on your machine.
I was actually working on a script which did something like this a while ago.
It would work out CPU and memory load every 15 minutes and put them in a
file so that I could FTP it down and call gnuplot on it.
