NAME

   rup - remote uptime display

SYNOPSIS

   rup { -u | -v | hosts ... }

DESCRIPTION

   rup  displays  a summary of the current status of a  particular host or
   all hosts on the local network.
   The output shows how long the system has been up, the number  of  users
   currently  on  the system (if the system is running the current version
   of rpc.rstatd(8)), and the load  averages.
   The load average numbers give the number  of  jobs  in  the  run  queue
   averaged over 1, 5 and 15 minutes.
   The  rpc.rstatd(8)  daemon  must be running on the remote host for this
   command to work.
   rup uses an RPC protocol defined in /usr/include/rpcsvc/rstat.x

COMMAND LINE OPTIONS

   -v     prints the current version of rup and exits

   -u     broadcasts for infornmation from machines capable  of  returning
          users   information   implemented   in  the  newest  version  of
          rpc.rstatd

DIAGNOSTICS

   rup: RPC: Program not registered
          The rpc.rstatd(8) daemon has not  been  started  on  the  remote
          host.

   rup: RPC: Timed out
          A   communication   error   occurred.   Either  the  network  is
          excessively  congested,  or   the   rpc.rstatd(8)   daemon   has
          terminated on the remote host.

   rup: RPC: Port mapper failure - RPC: Timed out
          The   remote   host   is   not   running   the  portmapper  (see
          rpc.rstatd(8)) and cannot  accomodate  any  RPC-based  services.
          The host may be down.
