Add a '\n' in the format if you want separate lines (pipe through "sort | uniq -c"
to count different results).

> In a job, when I run a CPU intensive job, like, âddâ, or âmd5sumâ, I see the LoadAvg increasing, but CondorLoadAvg always equals âLoadAvg.â This makes the CpuBusy and CpuBusyTime always equal âfalseâ

CpuBusy is meant to detect "foreign" (to Condor) activity, for example if
a machine is also used as a desktop computer or serving other tasks -
Condor can then decide not to schedule jobs to it, or even preempt
running (Condor) jobs.
So I think this is intentional and not a bug - Condor uses slots for
bookkeeping of resources and won't oversubscribe them.
