Check memory & cpu in Unix

Which options will work without any snmp at all?  I am trying hard to steer clear of snmp for I fear the obvious security flaws inherent in that protocol...?

Does option 1 rely on an underlying snmp layer?   If so,  then option 3 looks like the choice for me.  Does anyone have any example of the sort of scripts that will need to be cobbled together to make a check for disk,  load,  memory, swap, users,  etc?
