TOP Command in RT Linux

[Volker64]

Hi everybody,

I have a simple question. Does anybody know the meaning of the last two values in the header of the output of the TOP command under Labview Linux RT? This is running on a cRIO9042 and the last value is continously increasing up to 32768 and then restarting at zero.

What is it counting?

NI Linux RT uses busybox and according to this stackoverflow reply, that line is the output of /proc/loadavg.

That is explained e.g. here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/11987495/what-do-the-numbers-in-proc-loadavg-mean-on-linux

So the last numbers are the number of running tasks/total number of tasks and last used process ID.

Thanks a lot for this. I had searched the web, but there are so many versions of TOP and I did not find any which had these values. Now it's clear.
