I was just getting ready to call "uptime" via ssh to get the load average on a bunch of machines.... but after seeing this script I noticed that all I have to do is something like: file = os.popen('ssh machine_name "cat /proc/loadavg"') contents = file.read().split() print contents[0] Which is much easier!

For that purpose, I would just use the "uptime" command. --Dave This was meant as an example code snippet that others could use in their Python programs, not as a stand-alone script.

The script is nice to, though you might mention that, in order to be able to call it "uptime" instead of "python uptime" a line "#!/path/to/python/interpreter" should be added (it also took me a while to figure this out in the beginning).

I am going to use it in a script I am writing for my backup server at home (open Source of course). You saved me a lot of time. Nice script!
