rsysinfo [ host | -v ]

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.

labelled.
The rpc.rstatd(8) daemon must be running on the remote host for this
command to work.
