Yeah... depending on who you talk to...

This is the way I have rated 'server load' on my website:

    $loadavg = round($loadavg_array[0], 4);
        if ($loadavg >= 10) {
            $load = 'Damn-Awful';
        } elseif (($loadavg >= 6) && ($loadavg < 10)){
            $load = 'Raunchy';
        } elseif (($loadavg >= 4) && ($loadavg < 6)) {
            $load = 'Dreadful';
        } elseif (($loadavg >= 2) && ($loadavg < 4)) {
            $load = 'Passable';
        } elseif (($loadavg >= 1) && ($loadavg < 2)) {
            $load = 'Adequate';
        } else {
            $load = 'Perfect';

In case you're not a hacker...

• 0-1 = Perfect
• 1-2 = Adequate
• 2-4 = Passable
• 4-6 = Dreadful
• 6-10 = Raunchy
• More than 10 = Damn-Awful

Ah... pretty cool!

Sure was, but as the later numbers indicate: you noticed it just as it got back under control.

Yup... I'm usually always doing stuff with my webpages, and I noticed that it was timing out for a minute or two so I went and checked to see if it was down but the lights were green on the server page...

So I went in SSH and then tried to do a top, although it seems like they disabled that so I just had to spam uptime alot... ^^;;
