This page displays CPU load on this Linux computer using a perl script "loadcop". It uses the UNIX "uptime" command
whose output has the form: 10:45am up 32 day(s), 16:12, 2 users, load average: 0.07, 0.05, 0.04.
The output of "uptime" displays the time the system has been up, and three load averages. The load is the average
number of ready to be run jobs (processes) which are in the run queue over the last 1 minute,
(BLUE) 5 minutes, (GREEN) and 15 minute
(RED) periods. This information is gathered at 5 minute intervals and logged. When this web page is called, the
graphs are created "on the fly" using gnuplot.
