NAME

rup − show host status of local machines (RPC version)

SYNOPSIS

rup [ −h ] [ −l ] [ −t ] [ host ... ]

DESCRIPTION

The rup command gives a status similar to uptime for remote machines.  It broadcasts on the local network and displays the responses it receives.  Though the listing is normally in the order responses are received, the order can be changed by using the options.  When host arguments are given, rup only querries the list of specified hosts, rather than broadcasting.  A remote host only responds if it is running the rstatd(1M) daemon.

Options

−h Sort the display alphabetically by host name. 

−l Sort the display by load average. 

−t Sort the display by up time. 

WARNINGS

Broadcasting does not work through gateways; therefore, rup does not report information about machines that are reached only through gateways. 

DIAGNOSTICS

The exit code of rup is the number of errors (eg. bad host names) encountered; zero for success.
