4Here we run both loads.d and the uptime command for comparison,

6   # uptime
7     1:30am  up 14 day(s),  2:27,  3 users,  load average: 3.52, 3.45, 3.05
8
9   # ./loads.d
10   2005 Jun 11 01:30:49,  load average: 3.52, 3.45, 3.05

12Both have returned the same load average, confirming that loads.d is
13behaving as expected.

16The point of loads.d is to demonstrate fetching the same data as uptime
17does, in the DTrace language. It is not intended as a replacement
18or substitute to the uptime(1) command.
