SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION
     rup gives a status similar to uptime  for  remote  machines.
     It  broadcasts  on  the  local  network,  and  displays  the
     responses it receives.

     Normally, the listing is in the  order  that  responses  are
     received, but this order can be changed by specifying one of
     the options listed below.

     When host arguments are given, rather than broadcasting  rup
     will only query the list of specified hosts.

     A remote host will only respond if it is running the  rstatd
     daemon, which is normally started up from inetd(1M).

OPTIONS
     -h    Sort the display alphabetically by host name.

     -l    Sort the display by load average.

     -t    Sort the display by up time.

FILES
     /etc/servers
