Hi,
Its strange to see minus sign there. i hope you are sure about.

But if you ignore minus sign then the values displayed are correct e.g. 0.06 is the first value displayed.

What term value you are using while executing top?
Don't know if it is relevent one.

Regards,

Hi,
here is another sample:
ystem: hp05536 Mon Jun 21 11:57:46 2004
Load averages: 0.06, 0.09, 0.09
242 processes: 240 sleeping, 2 running

1 0.10 0.0% 0.0% 0.0% 100.0% 0.0% 0.0% 0.0% 0.0%
2 0.01 2.4% 0.0% 0.8% 96.8% 0.0% 0.0% 0.0% 0.0%
3 0.10 0.2% 0.0% 0.0% 99.8% 0.0% 0.0% 0.0% 0.0%
--- ---- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- -----

The result of the avg-values are wrong and the minus sign can not be correctly.

Here is a result from another server on the SAME display:
system: hp07386 Mon Jun 21 12:00:07 2004
Load averages: 0.86, 0.78, 0.78

I think, it's look like better !?
