Description
/proc/loadavg
The first three fields in this file are load average figures giving the number of jobs in the run
queue (state R) or waiting for disk I/O (state D) averaged over 1, 5, and 15 minutes. They are
the same as the load average numbers given by uptime(1) and other programs. The fourth field
consists of two numbers separated by a slash (/). The first of these is the number of currently
runnable kernel scheduling entities (processes, threads). The value after the slash is the number
of kernel scheduling entities that currently exist on the system. The fifth field is the PID of
the process that was most recently created on the system.
