loadwatch allows a single child process to run only when the load on a
machine is within certain bounds.  when the machines load passes the high
load mark, then the child process is stopped.  the process is only
restarted when the machines load drops below the low load mark.  the load
is checked at a user definable interval.  loadwatch is distributed under
the GNU GPL.

Usage:
loadwatch [-d check interval in seconds] [-h high load mark] [-l low load mark]

Example:
loadwatch -d 10 -h 1.25 -l .25 -- ./rc5des

which means: check the load every 10 seconds, stop rc5des when the load is 
greater than 1.25 and restart rc5des when the load drops to .25.

loadwatch stops the process by sending it SIGSTOP and restarts with
SIGCONT.
