NAME    [Toc]    [Back]

       rup - Show host status of remote machines (RPC version)

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

       rup [-hlt]

       rup [host...]

OPTIONS    [Toc]    [Back]

       Sort  the  display  alphabetically by host name.  Sort the
       display by load average.  Sort the display by up time.

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

       The rup command displays the current time, amount of  time
       since  the system was last started, number of users logged
       in, and the load averages for remote machines.  It  broadcasts
  on the local network, and displays the responses it
       receives.

       Normally, the listing is in the order in  which  responses
       are  received, but this order can be changed by specifying
       one of the options listed in the Flags section. When  host
       arguments  are  given,  rather  than broadcasting, the rup
       command queries the list of specified hosts.

       A remote host only responds if it is  running  the  rstatd
       daemon, which is normally started from the inetd daemon.
