Linux load monitoring script

Creation of a script that can be executed by cron that will obtain the load average from uptime. If the load average is above a user configurable value for a user configurable number of cycles an email will be sent to notify an administrator. Only one notification should be sent if the load is above the threshold. Script should reset monitoring and send an "all ok" notice if load falls back below threshold for the same number of cycles. For example: Load goes above 1.0 for 3 polling cycles Send notification Load drops below 1.0 Load goes above 1.0 Load drops below 1.0 for 3 polling cycles Send notification and continue monitoring User should be able to configure the load threshold, number of cycles to trigger polling and email address for notification. ## Deliverables 1) Complete and fully-functional working program(s) in executable form as well as complete source code of all work done. 2) Deliverables must be in ready-to-run condition, as follows (depending on the nature of the deliverables): a) For web sites or other server-side deliverables intended to only ever exist in one place in the Buyer's environment--Deliverables must be installed by the Seller in ready-to-run condition in the Buyer's environment. b) For all others including desktop software or software the buyer intends to distribute: A software installation package that will install the software in ready-to-run condition on the platform(s) specified in this bid request. 3) All deliverables will be considered "work made for hire" under U.S. Copyright law.
