Oh one more thing I wanted to add,and I totally forgot... Personally I
prefer checking the load trough SNMP as NRPE often timeout under high
load... That method is a bit more reliable. Only caveat is that you have
to take it as an integer which mean a load of 1.57 will be shown as "157".

Here's an example check command:

> $USER1$/check_snmp -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -o .1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.10.1.5.1,.1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.10.1.5.2,.1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.10.1.5.3 -w 800,600,400 -c 1600,1200,800 -C $USERn$ -l load -m UCD-SNMP-MIB
