Re^5: portable way to get system load average

'saying "you dont need this really" just because perl cannot provide it without extra strap-ons is apologetics at its worst.'

You quote "you dont need this really" as though it's something that BrowserUk has said, which they didn't.

Also this is the first time I've heard modules described as "strap-ons".

If the health of these systems are critical to your business is there a reason you aren't monitoring their load, as well as other things such as memory disk space and services using something like Big Sister, which has alerting mechanisms as well as real time monitoring?	[reply]

monitoring and throttling are 2 different things... the maintenance daemon just sleeps again if the load is higher than a configured threshold and picks up its chores when the other daemons are idle.	[reply]
