First, for uptime: (man uptime)
uptime gives a one line display of the following informa-
tion. The current time, how long the system has been run-
ning, how many users are currently logged on, and the sys-
tem load averages for the past 1, 5, and 15 minutes.
Now, for memory usage, the free command is handy.
There is a ncurses based program that will also give you system
information that is not part of the standard distribution, but I don't
remember the name off hand. do a search on sysinfo on freashmeat, and I
am sure you will find it.
