Hi, there are two kinds of CPU checks:
1.) system wide (with user/system/wait granularity) ... in the context of "check system ..." 2.) per-process (the Spamassassin example) ... in the context of "check process ..." On system-wide level there is no "total cpu" load ... in practice it's usually sufficient to use some reasonable value for usr/sys/wait and/or combine it with loadavg test, which is good indicator for real system load.
