procfs - How is run queue length computed in linux proc filesystem -
i'm trying obtain number of runnable processes linux kernel. sar -q gives information readily. i'm trying value /proc filesystem. there no file in /proc gives value directly, how runq-sz computed. wiki page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/load_(computing) provides insight how run queue length computed based on ldavg values unclear. can provide more pointers on this. cheers
as gcla said cat use
cat /proc/loadavg to read loadavarage from kernel - strictly speaking, not queue length.
take @
grep procs_running /proc/stat and
grep procs_blocked /proc/stat first actual running queue , second number of process blocked on disk io. load average function sum of both.
