 NAME    [Toc]    [Back]
      ruptime - show status of local machines

 SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]
      ruptime [-a] [-r] [-l] [-t] [-u]

 DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]
      ruptime outputs a status line for each machine on the local network
      that is running the rwho daemon.  ruptime's status lines are formed
      from packets broadcast once every 3 minutes between rwho 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:

           days+hours:minutes

      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 ruptime might be:

           machine1  up  1+5:15,  7 users, load  1.47, 1.16, 0.80

      The above status line would be interpreted as follows:

      machine1 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
      considered idle.  Idle users are not shown unless the -a option is
      specified.

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

           -l      Sort by load average.

           -t      Sort by up time.
