NAME

ruptime − show host status of local machines

SYNOPSIS

ruptime [ −a ] [ −l ] [ −t ] [ −u ]

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 can be changed by specifying one of the options listed below. 

OPTIONS

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

−l Sort the display by load average. 

−t Sort the display by uptime. 

−u Sort the display by number of users.
