ruptime(1)ruptime(1)NAMEruptime - Displays the status of each host on a network
SYNOPSISruptime [-ar] [-l | -t | -u]
ruptime [-ar] [-l | -t | -u] [machinename]
The ruptime command displays the status of each host on a local network
that is running the rwhod daemon.
If machinename is specified, only the status of that machine is dis‐
played.
OPTIONS
Includes all users. Without this option, users whose sessions are idle
an hour or more are not included. Sorts the list by the load average
over 5-, 10-, and 15-minute intervals prior to a server's transmission.
The load averages are multiplied by 10 to represent the value in deci‐
mal format. Reverses the sort order. Sorts the list by the length of
uptime. Sorts the list by the number of users.
DESCRIPTION
The status lines are sorted by hostname unless the -l, -t, or -u option
is indicated. The status information is provided in packets broadcast
once every 3 minutes by each network host running rwhod. Any activity
(such as the power to a host being turned on or off) that takes place
between broadcasts is not reflected until the next broadcast. Hosts for
which no status information is received for 11 minutes are reported as
down.
