RSTAT(1) BSD Reference Manual RSTAT(1)NAMErstat - remote status display
SYNOPSISrstat host
rup 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 rstatd(8) daemon must be running on the remote host for this command
to work. Rstat communicates to the daemon using an RPC protocol.
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 rstatd daemon has not been started on the remote host.
rstat: RPC: Timed out
A communication error occurred. Either the network is excessive-
ly congested, or the rstatd 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(8)),
and cannot accommodate any RPC-based services. The host may be
down.
SEE ALSOrpc(5), rstatd(8)AUTHORS
Rstat is derived from the Sun Microsystems public RPC distribution.
BUGS
Rstat doesn't take advantage of the extended statistics reported by
rstatd(8).
