Topic: Q about loadaverages

I noticed in the changelog that you changed to /proc/loadavg instead of the uptime-program and i just wanted to check if you verify if the fil exist, and if it does not you have a "plan b" to use?

Here's my listing of /:

storage01# ls -al /

And my enviroment is NetBSD 1.6:

Unix load averages         2.05 1.79 1.69 - 1 users online
Environment        PHP 4.2.3
 PostgreSQL 7.3.3 on i386--netbsdelf, compiled by GCC 2.95.3

Anything else you would like to know about my system, just holler...

Re: Q about loadaverages

Gah, I was convinced that *BSD used a similar method (/proc/loadavg doesn't exist on *BSD). I guess I will have to go back to the old method.

Re: Q about loadaverages

Maybe do a check if is_dir(/proc) and if file_exists(loadavg) in /proc otherwise use the uptime?

Re: Q about loadaverages

Yeah, but then again, admin_index.php isn't a very heavily used script so I think I'll go back to the regular uptime method.
