CPU load numbers

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?

Thank you


Kevin

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,

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.
