System load averages is the average number of processes that are either in a runnable or uninterruptable state. A process in a runnable state is either using the CPU or waiting to use the CPU. A process in uninterruptable state is waiting for some I/O access, eg waiting for disk. The averages are taken over the three time intervals. Load averages are not normalized for the num- ber of CPUs in a system, so a load average of 1 means a single CPU system is loaded all the time while on a 4 CPU system it means it was idle 75% of the time.

Output a summary of the current activity on the system, including what each user is doing.
The first line displays the current time of day, how long the system has been running, the number of users logged into the system, and the load averages. The load average numbers give the number of jobs in the run queue averaged over 1, 5 and 15 minutes.
The fields output are the user's login name, the name of the terminal the user is on, the host from which the user is logged in, the time the user logged on, the time since the user last typed anything, and the name and arguments of the current process.

UPTIME is a utility that processes the machine's event log to determine system availability and current uptime. The target system can either be the local system or a remote system. No special privileges are required for basic operation although it is most accurate to run the tool under an administrative account. Many factors affect these calculations, and the results displayed by this tool should be considered estimates.
Requirements: the system "heartbeat" must be active.
The system "heartbeat" is a date/time stamp that is written to the system registry at a fixed interval. … it can interfere with systems running various forms of power management. It is not recommended to enable the heartbeat of laptop systems.
To enable the heartbeat use: UPTIME /heartbeat [\\Machine]
If the heartbeat is disabled …, UPTIME may report that the event logs do not contain sufficient information to calculate system availability. because UPTIME detects an abnormal shutdown (for instance a bluescreen or power failure) but cannot determine how long the system was down during this abnormal outage.
Run uptime as an administrator for maximum information.
When calculating the Current System Uptime, this tool uses the System Performance Counter for Uptime.
If not administrator based on the last recorded boot noted in the event log.
Application Failure event detection is dependent upon Dr Watson being enabled.
Bluescreen detection is dependent upon the system being configured to write an event to the event log if the system stops unexpectedly. To enable bluescreen event logging for Windows NT 4.0: Go to the Control Panel and double click the System Icon. Next select the startup/shutdown tab. Finally check the "Write an event to the system log." check box.
for Windows 2000 Systems : Go to the Control Panel and double click the System Icon. Next select the "Advanced" tab. From the "Advanced" property sheet select the "Startup and Recovery" button. Finally check the "Write an event to the system log." check box.
Potential sources of error: Calculations are based on the entries in the event log. if the event logs have been cleared, or have filled.
The heartbeat is generally written every 5 minutes, so the amount of downtime calculated for abnormal outages is limited in accuracy to this window.
