Python plugin to report the amount of idle CPU on unix based systems.
I use this in conjunction with a plugin to monitor the user count. Obsess over both and utilise the gathered info in capacity management.

I prefer this to other cpu checks as it returns an average figure over a time period rather than a snapshot.

Requires Python 2.2 or above (or Optik python plugin for python 2.0+)

Currently tested on RH 7.x, 8.0, 9.0, Fedora Core1, Fedora Core2, Fedora Core3, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD, (K)Ubuntu, Slackware. Full testing required for SUSE & Debian, though I believe that it works under these OSes.

Looking for people to test under other unix systems. Solaris supported, but requires Python which is not part of the native install.

Current version is 0.4.0.

There was bug when the first item (r) is not one char.
That is a simple fix for it:
