the month and year, and check "<guibutton>Show only for the selected
day</guibutton>". At last, click on the <guibutton>search</guibutton>
button to see the results in the window called <guilabel>Content of the

<para>In the next screen, select the <guilabel>Load</guilabel> value you
consider unacceptable. The load represents the demand to a process, a high
load slows the system down and a very high load may indicate that a
process has gone out of control. The default value is 3. We recommend
setting the load value to 3 times the number of processors.</para>

the person to be warned and the <guilabel>Email server</guilabel> to use
