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

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

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.
