I'm almost entirely a novice at git... Anyway, I haven't tested if this particular commit works yet, I'll be rebooting after I send this email. > One could also just use awk for this. ( awk '{print $1}' /proc/loadavg) Thanks for explaining what it's doing. I assume if I wanted to use the third argument I'd use awk '{print $3}' /proc/loadavg correct? I think I'll be using that since it'll give me a better clue if loads are consistently high over a long period, as well as make the loadavg graph less prone to jitter.
