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

       -u     broadcasts for infornmation from machines capable of returning users  information  implemented  in

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.
