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

          The  remote  host   is   not   running   the   portmapper   (see
