 * @summary Basic unit test of OperatingSystemMXBean.getSystemLoadAverage()
 * @author  Mandy Chung
 */

/*
 * This test tests the load average on linux and solaris. On Windows,
 * getSystemLoadAverage() returns -1.
 *
 * Usage: GetSystemLoadAverage ["-1.0"]
 * Arguments:
 *   o If no argument is specified, the test will verify the system load
 *     average with the /usr/bin/uptime command.
 *   o Otherwise, the input argument must be "-1.0" indicating the
 *     expected system load average.  This would only be the case when
 *     running on Windows.
