TLOAD for OSX tload was one of my favorite time wasters on Linux, and I really missed it on OSX. So I hacked up the Linux source, put everything together, and here it is. Download and copy the executable to /usr/bin ( or anyplace you like ) To compile the source cc -o tload tload.c TLOAD graphic representation of system load average SYNOPSIS tload [ -V ] [ -s scale ] [ -d delay ] [ tty ] DESCRIPTION tload prints a graph of the current system load average to the specified tty (or the tty of the tload process if none is specified). The -s scale option allows a vertical scale to be specified for the display (in characters between graph ticks); thus, a smaller value represents a larger scale, and vice versa. The -d delay sets the delay between graph updates in seconds. AUTHORS Branko Lankester David Engel Michael K. Johnson Greg Coleman
