Funnily enough, this doesn't work.
For some reason that I can't quite see, this always reports 100% processor
usage for the first hit. This can be seen by the command:
top -l2|awk '/Load Avg/ { print $0 };'
(or sed, perl, etc., etc. - anything you like to use to parse text).
The first hit is always 100% utilization (or, 0% idle, depending on your
point of view), but the second one looks more feasible.
The problem with an ssh-based solution is that you need to
authenticate/login to the system to run it. Using key-based logins mitigates
that somewhat, but isn't the most straightforward solution.
One related option is to write a shell script that gets the CPU load and
link it via xinetd. You can then use nc via do shell script to connect to
the machine, run the script and grab the results.

You can logon to the remote machine with SSH and use:\

Maybe you can do it in Applescript with remote Events but it sounds
