Remote system information display
rsysinfo [ host | -v ]
rsysinfo displays a summary of the kernel statistics of a particular host.
The output shows how long the system has been up, load averages, cpu usage in jiffies, pages from and to the disk, the number of interupts recieved, and the number of context switches.
The load average numbers give the number of jobs in the run queue averaged over 1, 5 and 15 minutes, all other fields are appropriatly labelled.
The rpc.rstatd(8) daemon must be running on the remote host for this command to work.
rsysinfo uses an RPC protocol defined in /usr/include/rpcsvc/rstat.x
-v
prints the current version of rsysinfo and exits
