LOADSERVER(8,C) AIX Commands Reference LOADSERVER(8,C) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 the site with a writeable local copy of /etc/loads (the primary site for the file system which includes /etc/loads), loadserver collects data from the /local_loads file on each site. This information is placed in /etc/loads and consulted by the fast, fastsite, and loads commands. FILES /unix Kernel load module. /etc/local_loads Local load information. /etc/loads Global load information. RELATED INFORMATION See the following commands: "fast," "fastsite," and "loads."
