rup Command
  
  
  Purpose
  
  Shows the status of a remote host on the local network.
  
   Syntax
  
  /usr/bin/rup [  -h |  -l |  -t ] [ Host ... ]
  
  Description
  
  The rup command displays the status of a remote host by broad-
  casting on the local network and then displaying the responses it
  receives.   Normally, the command displays the responses  in  the
  order they are received.  You can  change this order, however, by
  specifying one of the flags.  In  addition,  when  you  provide a
  Host parameter, the rup command queries the host or hosts you
  specify,  rather  than  broadcasting to all hosts.  A remote host
  responds only if it is running the  rstatd daemon, which is nor-
  mally started from the  inetd daemon.
  
  Notes:
  
  1.	Broadcasting does not work through gateways.  Therefore, if
  you do not specify a host, only hosts on your network can respond
  to the rup command.
  
  2.	Load average statistics are not kept by the kernel.  The load
  averages are always reported as 0 (zero) by this command.
  
  Flags
  
  -h	Sorts the display alphabetically by host name.
  
  -l	Sorts the display by load average.
  
  -t	Sorts the display by uptime.
  
  Examples
  
  1.	To find out the status of all hosts on the network and to sort
  the list alphabetically by host name, enter:
  
  /usr/bin/rup -h
  
  2.	To display a list of all hosts on the network according to
  each machine's load average, enter:
  
  /usr/bin/rup -l
  
  3.	To display the status of a host, enter:
  
  /usr/bin/rup brutus
  
  In this example, the rup command displays the status of the host
  named brutus.
  
  4.	To display the status of all hosts on the network sorted by
  each machine's uptime, enter:
  
  /usr/bin/rup -t
