NAME
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.

fied.
