NAME    [Toc]    [Back]

     rup - remote status display

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

     rup [-dhlt] [host ...]

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

     rup displays a summary of the current  system  status  of  a
particular host
     or  all  hosts  on  the local network.  The output shows the
current time of
     day, how long the system has been up, and the load averages.
The load
     average numbers give the number of jobs in the run queue averaged over 1,
     5, and 15 minutes.

     The options are as follows:

     -d      For each host, report what its local time is.   This
is useful for
             checking time synchronization on a network.

     -h      Sort the display alphabetically by host name.

     -l      Sort the display by load average.

     -t      Sort the display by up time.

     The  rpc.rstatd(8) daemon must be running on the remote host
for this command
 to work.  rup uses an RPC protocol defined in
     /usr/include/rpcsvc/rstat.x.

EXAMPLES    [Toc]    [Back]

           $ rup otherhost
           otherhost      up 6 days, 16:45,  load average:  0.20,
0.23, 0.18

DIAGNOSTICS    [Toc]    [Back]

     rup:  RPC:  Program not registered  The rpc.rstatd(8) daemon
has not been
     started on the remote host.

     rup: RPC: Timed out  A communication error occurred.  Either
the network
     is  excessively  congested,  or the rpc.rstatd(8) daemon has

     the remote host.

     rup: RPC: Port mapper failure - RPC: Timed out   The  remote
