checking unix load/disk space

[admin at jpk236.com]

just wanted to clarify to the original poster that Marc probably didn't 
mean by passwordless ssh that you should create a user with no password. 
  That would be bad.  Instead you should use SSH keys to do passwordless 
ssh but still maintain some level of security.  Also don't forget to 
first SSH into the remote box so you can enter 'yes' to accepting the 
DSA fingerprint.
