ruptime(1)
NAME
  ruptime - Displays the status of each host on a network

SYNOPSIS
  ruptime [-ar] [-l  | -t  | -u]

  ruptime [-ar] [-l  | -t  | -u] [machinename]

  The ruptime command displays the status of each host on a local network
  that is running the rwhod daemon.

  If machinename is specified, only the status of that machine is displayed.

OPTIONS
  -a  Includes all users.  Without this option, users whose sessions are idle
      an hour or more are not included.

  -l  Sorts the list by the load average over 5-, 10-, and 15-minute
      intervals prior to a server's transmission.  The load averages are
      multiplied by 10 to represent the value in decimal format.

  -r  Reverses the sort order.

  -t  Sorts the list by the length of uptime.

  -u  Sorts the list by the number of users.

DESCRIPTION
  The status lines are sorted by hostname unless the -l, -t, or -u option is
  indicated. The status information is provided in packets broadcast once
  every 3 minutes by each network host running rwhod. Any activity (such as
  the power to a host being turned on or off) that takes place between
  broadcasts is not reflected until the next broadcast. Hosts for which no
  status information is received for 11 minutes are reported as down.

EXAMPLES
   1.  To get a status report on the hosts on the local network, enter:
	    $ ruptime
