well first off you need either telnet or ssh access to the server. Alot of shared hosts dont give this access out.
And when i talk about over a period of time i mean more like over the course of an hour the average or over the course of a few hours. having four or five samples over a few minute time frame is not a good sample as someone might be doing maintance work on a large database or something that would artifically increase load. Or the server might be compiling stats at that time frame.
