to extract temperature:
i don't know about hddtemp output, so i use var="/dev/hda: IC350L40AVER07-0: 42�C" for this example ->
$ set -- $var; echo ${!#//[^0-9]/}
to extract the 3rd field from /proc/loadavg $ set -- $(</proc/loadavg); echo $3
Thanks, this is another way to have those values.
Yesterday I tried to run a kernel compilation to check how much the load could increase and I noted that (as expected) the second time I compiled the kernel [for ((i=0;i<10;i++)); do make bzImage; done] the loadavg kept increasing but nothing was read from disk.
I wonder whether there is a way to check "real" disk activity and not simply system load.
Moreover, could someone confirm my guess about loadavg values? (1 minute, 5 minutes and 15 minutes).
A simple link to a page explainig those three values is enough (man top doesn't explain anything).
[why my mails sometimes reach the list, sometimes reach the list even if I get an error abot "undeliverable mail" after one day or two and sometimes simply don't reach the list and I get an error after days, when sending again the mail is almost useless? is this a "feature"? :-)))]
Thanks
Olaf
