rsysinfo - 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
