rup(1)rup(1)NAMErup - Show host status of remote machines (RPC version)
SYNOPSISrup [-hlt]
rup [host...]
OPTIONS
Sort the display alphabetically by host name. Sort the display by load
average. Sort the display by up time.
DESCRIPTION
The rup command displays the current time, amount of time since the
system was last started, number of users logged in, and the load aver‐
ages for remote machines. It broadcasts on the local network, and dis‐
plays the responses it receives.
Normally, the listing is in the order in which responses are received,
but this order can be changed by specifying one of the options listed
in the Flags section. When host arguments are given, rather than broad‐
casting, the rup command queries the list of specified hosts.
A remote host only responds if it is running the rstatd daemon, which
is normally started from the inetd daemon.
RESTRICTIONS
Broadcasting does not work through gateways.
