       rsysinfo - remote system information display

SYNOPSIS

       rsysinfo [ host | -v ]

DESCRIPTION

       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

              The rpc.rstatd(8) daemon has not been started on the remote host.

       rsysinfo: RPC: Timed out
              A communication error occurred.  Either the network is  excessively  congested,  or
              the rpc.rstatd(8) daemon has terminated on the remote host.

       rsysinfo: RPC: Port mapper failure - RPC: Timed out
              The  remote  host  is  not  running  the  portmapper (see rpc.rstatd(8)) and cannot
              accomodate any RPC-based services.  The host may be down.
