NAME

4     rup — remote status display
5

SYNOPSIS

7     rup [-dshlt] [host ...]
8

DESCRIPTION

10     rup displays a summary of the current system status of a particular host
11     or all hosts on the local network.  The output shows the current time of
12     day, how long the system has been up, and the load averages.  The load
13     average numbers give the number of jobs in the run queue averaged over 1,
14     5 and 15 minutes.
15
16     The following options are available:
17
18     -d      For each host, report what its local time is.  This is useful for
19             checking time syncronization on a network.
20
21     -s      Print time data in seconds (seconds of uptime or seconds since
22             the epoch), for scripts.
23
24     -h      Sort the display alphabetically by host name.
25
26     -l      Sort the display by load average.
27
28     -t      Sort the display by up time.
29
30     The rpc.rstatd(8) daemon must be running on the remote host for this com‐
31     mand to work.  rup uses an RPC protocol defined in
32     /usr/include/rpcsvc/rstat.x.

DIAGNOSTICS

40     rup: RPC: Program not registered
41             The rpc.rstatd(8) daemon has not been started on the remote host.
42
43     rup: RPC: Timed out
44             A communication error occurred.  Either the network is exces‐
45             sively congested, or the rpc.rstatd(8) daemon has terminated on
46             the remote host.
47
48     rup: RPC: Port mapper failure - RPC: Timed out
49             The remote host is not running the portmapper (see portmap(8) ),
50             and cannot accomodate any RPC-based services.  The host may be
51             down.
