| .SH NAME |
| tload \- graphic representation of system load average |
| .SH SYNOPSIS |
| .B tload |
| .RB [ "\-V" "] [" "\-s" |
| .IR scale "] [" |
| .BI "\-d" " delay" |
| .RI "] [" tty ] |
| .SH DESCRIPTION |
| \fBtload\fP prints a graph of the current system load average to the |
| specified \fItty\fP (or the tty of the tload process if none is specified). |
| .SS Options |
| The |
| .BI "\-s" " scale" |
| option allows a vertical scale to be specified for the |
| display (in characters between graph ticks); thus, a smaller value |
| represents a larger scale, and vice versa. |
| |
| The |
| .BI "\-d" " delay" |
| sets the delay between graph updates in seconds. |
| .PP |
| .SH FILES |
| .I /proc/loadavg |
| load average information |

| .SH "SEE ALSO" |
| .BR ps (1), |
| .BR top (1), |
| .BR uptime (1), |
| .BR w (1) |
| |
| .SH BUGS |
| The |
| .BI "\-d" " delay" |
| option sets the time argument for an |
| .BR alarm (2); |
| if -d 0 is specified, the alarm is set to 0, which will never send the |
| .B SIGALRM |
| and update the display. |
