Hi - Sorry I don't have an answer to your question but I would like to do this myself and I don't know how (I don't know how to do it at all, forget about accuracy !). I've looked at 'man sysctl' and I can't see the variables you have mentioned - the nearest i've got is 'vm.loadavg'. Could you post the actual command you're using so that I could try it ? Sorry about not answering your question, I'm sure someone will ! regards richard shea. -- http://fastmail.fm - Get back to work To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
