WAITLA

Wait until the one minute load average reaches the indicated treshold.

Usage

waitla can run without arguments:

waitla

When running without arguments, the number of CPUs in the system is used as the threshold for the average load. waitla will wait until load average is less than the number of CPUs.

To indicate a threshold, the option -t (--treshold) is specified:

waitla -t 6

Use the reverse option to wait the load average to be higher than the treshold, rather than lower. the option is -r (--reverse):

waitla -r

Options -m (--minimum) and -M (--maximum) allows indicate a minimum and maximum waiting time:

waitla -m 5 -M 60

By default the minimum time is 0 and the maximum time is infinite.

With the option -s (--sleep-millis) you can specify how often is checked the load average, in milliseconds:

waitla -s 200

By default the sleep time is 1000ms.

To run in verbose mode use the option -v (--verbose):

waitla -v
