RSTAT(1)                     BSD Reference Manual                     RSTAT(1)

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 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 accomodate any RPC-based services.  The host may be
             down.

BUGS
     Rstat doesn't take advantage of the extended statistics reported by
     rstatd(8).
