- Unfortunately, it seems that we do not have X11R5 on our system, but X11R4 as
- xload is not present either built or the source. I have also tried to use
- Sun's perfmeter, but while I can get loads on our other Suns, it's no go
- when I try to get output from our 6000. I get no errors, no output, no
- nothin! (This is via the command issued on a local machine:
-
- permeter <RS/6000 machine name> -t load
-
- Anyway, what interested me most in this response was that you are getting
- a load average max of 1! I've been running "sysline" on our 6000 and getting
- output:

- sysline -dehD

- no matter how many are actually there.
