Try loadwatch. There's a package for it on Debian called...
loadwatch. I don't know of a similar package for Solaris but you can get
a loadwatch clone that I wrote based on source code by G. Garonni. It's
called loadwatcher and you can get the source code on my home page. I
tested it on Solaris so it should pretty much compile an run just fine.
