top -d 1 | grep ' processes:' | awk '{print $1}'
top -d 1 | grep ' processes:' | sed 's/.*processes: *//g' | awk '{print $1}'

I'd use snmpd for this one.

swapinfo -k | grep -v '^Device' | awk '{print $4}'
swapinfo -k | grep -v '^Device' | awk '{print $3}'
(note: this assumes you only have one swap device)

You'd probably want some magic to parse the output of uptime and
convert the time value into an integer here.

vmstat | grep -vE '^ *(procs|r b)' | awk '{print $4}'
vmstat | grep -vE '^ *(procs|r b)' | awk '{print $5}'


Good luck,
