I released this a few years ago for the Power PC (PPC). It is tload for Darwin/OSX, like the one in FreeBSD, updated as a Universal binary. I really do not understand why Apple has not included tload in Darwin/OSX. It is one of those “low tech” utilities that make using UNIX systems nice.

tload shows a scrolling ncurses graph of system load. So you can ssh to a system an get a visual representation of what is going on inside a server. tload helps those of us who run OSX headless as servers keep an eye one things, and it uses a lot fewer resources than top. I guess we don’t have enough of us running Darwin/OSX as a server.

I usually run a copy on my app server. I can just glance at a terminal window and see how the system is handling the load.

This release is a Universal command line binary, so it will play nice on your IntelMac. I did not include an installer, so just copy the binary to a place in your path such as /usr/bin or /usr/local/bin

Download tload 2.0.7 here.
