CPU load numbers
list Kevin Hanrahan
Hi all, Can someone tell me if it is possible to "correct" the decimal point placement for the CPU Load test? I only get this on the Unix clients. If the load is 3 the value I see is 300. Larrd has the correct value but hobbit reports it as 300 so something is off by a factor of 100. I am assuming that this is not Hobbit but the Bbclient. Is there a setting to correct this?

The setting is off by 100 because because some Korn shells can't handle floating point. To add the decimal point set DISPREALLOADAVG to "TRUE" in bbdef-client.sh. Thanks, Larry Barber

As far as I now it has been like that for a long time (or "always"). I interpret it as a "relative load" not an absolute figure.
