Seems that a few people have added a "TOPS-20" style status key to
Linux in the past:

The Hurd has it working last time I checked. *BSD has it.

There is also (a wimpy) ^T in GNU screen that shows load averages
only.

Are there any working sets of patches for a modern 2.6 or 2.4 kernel?

Thanks,
BP
