The  above does not seem to match on my system (Ubuntu Feisty).

$ man uptime
```
uptime gives a one line display of the following information.  The current
time, how long the system has been running,  how  many  users are currently
logged  on,  and the system load averages for the past 1, 5,and 15 minutes.
```

It gives no mention of run queue.
