loadserver



PURPOSE

Local site load daemon.

SYNTAX


loadserver ---|


DESCRIPTION

The loadserver daemon is automatically started by the /etc/inittab file when
the system reaches a run-level of 4.  The loadserver daemon is not normally
started from the command line.  See init in the AIX Operating System Commands
Reference and inittab in the AIX Operating System Technical Reference for more
information.

The loadserver command collects the local load information and places it in the
file /etc/local_loads.  The /etc/local_loads file is really a symbolic link
into the local file system of the site.  The loadserver command extracts the
load information and user information from the kernel and the /etc/utmp files
of the local site.  If the loadserver command detects that the kernel load
module has been modified lately, it researches the load module symbol table for
the addresses of the kernel variables used to extract the load information.

On one site in a TCF cluster, the site with a writable local copy of
/etc/loads, loadserver collects data from the <LOCAL>/local_loads file on each
site and places this information in the file /etc/loads.  This file is then
consulted by the fast, fastsite and loads command.
