loadwatch for DEBIAN
----------------------

Loadwatch is essentially a hack originally designed to allow rc5des
processes to run in large compute labs without disturbing the "real"
users.  As it has been effective in achieving this goal, the author
and I decided that "debianization" was worthwhile.

In general, one will want to run it like this:
loadwatch -d 15 -h 1.25 -l 0.25 -- ./rc5des

"-d" sets the period in seconds between "uptime" samples.
"-h" sets the high load mark where a SIGSTOP should be sent to the child
process.
"-l" sets the low load mark where a SIGCONT should be sent to the child to
continue it.
