NAME

       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

COMMAND LINE OPTIONS

       -v     prints the current version of rsysinfo and exits

       DIAGNOSTICS

       rsysinfo: RPC: Program not registered
              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.
