This directive takes two integer arguments separated by white space. The first is the maximum number of connections allowed to the service per second. The second is the number of secondsxinetdmust wait before re-enabling the service. It accepts only integers as an argument and can be used in bothxinetd.confand in the service-specific configuration files in thexinetd.d/directory.max_load— Defines the CPU usage threshold for a service.
