sounds interesting since jeremy seems to have lost some thing while he 
was house moving. :)
*G* so where's the patch ? ;)
and what about the scripts to deliver data about load etc ?
I thought about this, too a while ago.
My conclusion was to get several factors like cpu - cycles, Wait/IO,  
memfree etc and give the user
the ability to give i.e. Wait/IO 60% what means - if wa is up to 100 
percent the server should've only a
weight of maybe 40 if 100 was normal. If cpu is busy, too with 60% and 
cpucycles was weighted with 25%
then we've got load 75%  so only 25 points ... and so on
what do you mean ?
