SYNOPSIS
ruptime [-ar] [-l | -t | -u]
DESCRIPTION
The ruptime utility gives a status line like uptime (see uptime(1)) for each machine on the local network; these are formed from packets
broadcast by each host on the network approximately every three minutes.
Machines for which no status report has been received for 11 minutes are shown as being down.
Normally, the listing is sorted by host name, but this order can be changed by specifying one of the options listed below.
OPTIONS
The following options are supported:
-a Counts even those users who have been idle for an hour or more.
-r Reverses the sorting order.
-l | -t | -u These options are mutually exclusive. The use of one overrides the previous one(s).

ruptime - show status of local machines
SYNOPSIS DESCRIPTION
outputs a status line for each machine on the local network that is running the daemon. status lines are formed from packets broadcast
once every 3 minutes between daemons (see rwhod(1M)) on each host on the network. Each status line has a field for the name of the
machine, the status of the machine (up or down), how long the machine has been up or down, the number of users logged into the machine, and
the 1-, 5- and 15-minute load averages for the machine when the packet was sent.
The status of the machine is reported as ``up'' unless no report has been received from the machine for 11 minutes or more.
The length of time that the machine has been up is shown as:
Load averages are the average number of jobs in the run queue over the last 1-, 5- and 15-minute intervals when the packet was sent.
An example status line output by might be:
The above status line would be interpreted as follows:
is presently ``up'' and has been up for 1 day, 5 hours and 15 minutes. It currently has 7 users logged in. Over the last 1-minute inter-
val, an average of 1.47 jobs were in the run queue. Over the last 5-minute interval, an average of 1.16 jobs were in the run queue. Over
the last 15-minute interval, an average of 0.80 jobs were in the run queue.
If a user has not used the system for an hour or more, the user is considered idle. Idle users are not shown unless the option is speci-
fied.
Options
If no options are specified, the listing is sorted by host name. Options change sorting order as follows:
Sort by load average.
Sort by up time.
Sort by the number of users.
Reverse the sort order.
