/proc/loadavg
The first three fields in this file are load average figures giving
the number of jobs in the run queue (state R) or waiting for disk
I/O (state D) averaged over 1, 5, and 15 minutes. They are the
same as the load average numbers given by uptime(1) and other
programs.The fourth field consists of two numbers separated by a
slash (/). The first of these is the number of currently executing
kernel scheduling entities (processes, threads); this will be less
than or equal to the number of CPUs. The value after the slash is the
number of kernel scheduling entities that currently exist on the
system.The fifth field is the PID of the process that was most
recently created on the system.
