For each network host, ruptime displays a status line with the following format:

hostname up|down days+hours:minutes n users load n.nn, n.nn, n.nn
hostname

The name of a host on the network. One line is displayed for each host on the local network that is running the rwhod daemon.

up|down

The status of the host. If the local host stops hearing from a remote host's rwhod daemon, that host is considered down.

days+hours:
minutes

The length of time the host has been up or down.

n users

The number of users logged into the host.

load

The average number of jobs in the run queue over the last 5, 10, and 15 minutes.

By default, ruptime displays status lines sorted in alphabetical order by host name. You can use different command-line options to sort the status lines by different fields, in increasing or decreasing order.

By default, ruptime lists the number of active users logged in. ruptime does not count users who have not used the system for an hour or more. To include idle users in status lines, use the -a option:

ruptime -a

For more information, type man 1 ruptime at the HP-UX prompt.

NOTE: ruptime is not supported across X.25 links or networks using the PPL (SLIP) product.
