The output ofthe uptime command gives:

9:40am  up 9 days, 10:36,  4 users,  load average: 0.02, 0.01, 0.00

How can i extract the portion "load average: 0.02, 0.01, 0.00".

$ echo "9:40am  up 9 days, 10:36,  4 users,  load average: 0.02, 0.01, 0.00" | grep -o 'load.*'
load average: 0.02, 0.01, 0.00
