I am going to miss ruptime as a troubleshooting tool. Sure I can check a web based monitoring tool; its only 100 times slower than typing "ruptime" at any CLI I'm logged into. Most of modern progress revolves around making things slower and less productive, in general. zabbix-cli seems focused on CLI based provisioning of Zabbix. Maybe with a couple minutes effort I could make a very short perl script that massages the output of a wget against a zabbix monitoring server URL to output something kind like ruptime. I could name it zuptime. Ahhh progress.

Adding another line to the common role of my ansible commands to pkg install bsdrcmds is annoying but not a terribly high bar.

I kind of like the debian way of splitting out into rwho package and so forth, because I don't want rlogin or rcp.
