NAME

rstat - remote status display  

SYNOPSIS

rstat host  

DESCRIPTION

rstat displays a summary of the current system status of a particular host. The output shows the current time of day, how long the system has been up, and the load averages. The load average numbers give the number of jobs in the run queue averaged over 1, 5 and 15 minutes.

The rstat_svc(8c) daemon must be running on the remote host for this command to work. rstat uses an RPC protocol defined in /usr/include/rpcsvc/rstat.x.  

EXAMPLE

example% rstat otherhost
7:36am  up 6 days, 16:45,  load average: 0.20, 0.23, 0.18

DIAGNOSTICS

rstat: RPC: Program not registered

The rstat_svc daemon has not been started on the remote host.

rstat: RPC: Timed out

A communication error occurred. Either the network is excessively congested, or the rstat_svc daemon has terminated on the remote host.

rstat: RPC: Port mapper failure - RPC: Timed out

The remote host is not running the portmapper (see portmap(8c)), and cannot accomodate any RPC-based services. The host may be down.
