OK, I've figured out how to get rstatd to give me information.  (Thanks to
everybody -- a summary will follow.)  Now, how do I find out what the
fields in rstat.x actually *mean*?  I can guess from some of the names,
but why doesn't Sun document it?

Also, can I get "amount of free virtual memory" (pstat -s) and "length of
time the keyboard has been idle" from rstatd?  I'm trying to find out
which workstations on our network are idle, but rstat.x doesn't have any
fields with suggestive names...

Thanks again,
