ruptime

Show host status of local machines

Syntax:

ruptime [-alrtu]

Options:

-a

Count all users. Without -a, users who are idle for an hour or more aren't counted.

-l

Sort by load average.

-r

Reverse the sort order.

-t

Sort by uptime.

-u

Sort by number of users.

Description:

The ruptime utility gives a status-line-like uptime for each machine on the local network; each uptime is formed from packets that are broadcast once a minute by each host on the network.

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

The default listing is sorted by hostname.

Files:

/usr/spool/rwho/whod.*

Data files

The ruptime utility requires the libsocket.so shared library.

Caveats:

QNX Neutrino doesn't calculate load average, so only non-QNX Neutrino hosts can have nonzero load averages.
