NAME

ruptime − show host status of local machines

SYNOPSIS

ruptime [ −a ]

DESCRIPTION

ruptime gives a status line for each machine on the local network.  The status lines are formed from packets broadcast by each host on the network once a minute.  They include a count of the number of users on a system and an indication of the load on each system, if available. 

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

Users idle one hour or more are not counted unless the −a flag is given.
