I occasionally have backup responsibility for backing up machines
that I don't have a login on.  Sometimes I need to do a quick sanity
check on hosts.  Is there a quick way to ask the remote nsrexecd what
it's hostname is?

I can do a whole setup and fire off a probe savegroup, but that's a bit
of work if I could replace it with a simple one-liner.  I seem to
remember that I could just use a simple nsrexec call from the server to
gather the general info from a client (hostname, OS, version, etc.) but
I didn't manage to find it in the archives.

Does this make sense?

Thanks!
