[ale] System Load Summary Script?

[Lightner, Jeffrey]

+1 for htop

It all depends on what you mean by "load".  In UNIX days load averages in top and other tools were only for the CPU.   In Linux that isn't the case.  Coincidentally I'd just been in another thread mentioning that when someone shared this discussion of why that is different in Linux:

As far as monitoring goes you could use something like Nagios and the plugins it provides (or just the plugins and make your own routine to run the plugin and email you the output).

When troubleshooting that type of issue, "htop" is always my first-glance sanity check.
