The xload command is used to display a graphical representation of the system load average on the X Window System (GUI) in Red Hat-based Linux distributions. It provides a visual indication of how busy the system’s CPU is over a period of time. Here’s a table with information and examples related to the xload command:
| Command | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|
xload | Display the graphical load average meter | xload |
xload -geometry | Specify window size and position | xload -geometry 200x200+100+100 |
Examples:
