ruptime(1N)                      (TCP/IP)                       ruptime(1N)


   NAME
         ruptime - show host status of local machines

   SYNOPSIS
         ruptime [ -alrtu ]

   DESCRIPTION
         ruptime gives a status line like uptime for each machine on the local
         network; these are formed from packets broadcast by each host on the
         network once a minute.

         Machines for which no status report has been received for 5 minutes
         are shown as being down.

         Normally, the listing is sorted by host name, but this order can be
         changed by specifying one of the options listed below.

         The following options are available:

         -a   Count even those users who have been idle for an hour or more.

         -l   Sort the display by load average.

         -r   Reverse the sorting order.

         -t   Sort the display by up time.

         -u   Sort the display by number of users.
