RUPTIME(1)                  General Commands Manual                 RUPTIME(1)

NAME
     ruptime - show host status of local machines

SYNOPSIS
     ruptime [-alrtu]

DESCRIPTION
     ruptime gives a status line like uptime(1) for each machine on the local
     network; these are formed from packets broadcast by each host on the
     network via the rwhod(8) daemon.  The default broadcast time by the hosts
     is every three minutes.

     Machines for which no status report has been received for 11 minutes are
     shown as being down.

     The options are as follows:

     -a      Users idle an hour or more are not counted unless the -a flag is
             given.

     -l      Sort by load average.

     -r      Reverses the sort order.

     -t      Sort by uptime.

     -u      Sort by number of users.

     The default listing is sorted by host name.
