NAME
       ruptime - show status of local machines

SYNOPSIS
DESCRIPTION
       outputs	a  status  line	 for each machine on the local network that is
       running the daemon.  status lines are  formed  from  packets  broadcast
       once  every  3  minutes between daemons (see rwhod(1M)) on each host on
       the network.  Each status line has a field for the name of the machine,
       the  status  of the machine (up or down), how long the machine has been
       up or down, the number of users logged into the machine, and the 1-, 5-
       and 15-minute load averages for the machine when the packet was sent.

       The  status  of	the machine is reported as ``up'' unless no report has
       been received from the machine for 11 minutes or more.

       The length of time that the machine has been up is shown as:

       Load averages are the average number of jobs in the run queue over  the
       last 1-, 5- and 15-minute intervals when the packet was sent.

       An example status line output by might be:

       The above status line would be interpreted as follows:

       is  presently ``up'' and has been up for 1 day, 5 hours and 15 minutes.
       It currently has 7 users logged in.  Over the last  1-minute  interval,
       an  average of 1.47 jobs were in the run queue.	Over the last 5-minute
       interval, an average of 1.16 jobs were in the run queue.	 Over the last
       15-minute interval, an average of 0.80 jobs were in the run queue.

       If a user has not used the system for an hour or more, the user is con‐
       sidered idle.  Idle users are not shown unless the option is specified.

   Options
       If no options are specified,  the  listing  is  sorted  by  host	 name.
       Options change sorting order as follows:

	      Sort by load average.

	      Sort by up time.

	      Sort by the number of users.

	      Reverse the sort order.

DIAGNOSTICS
       No status report files in
	    Ask	 the  system administrator to check whether the daemon is run‐
	    ning.
