SSH based multi-host uptime query tool
muptime [-h] [-r] [-s column] [host ...]
| Flag | Meaning |
|---|---|
| -s, --sort | Sort based on column. Valid columns are host, ip, machtype, uptime |
| -r, --reverse | Reverse sort |
| -h, --help | Show usage help |
| host ... | Show usage for host |
defaults are sort ascending by hostname, if no host is specified, the host returned by uname.
This program retrieves uptime for the local and remote hosts and print in an easy to read format. if a host has not been seen before, it is queried for it's platform type which is then cached. This speeds up future lookups.
Hosts may be specified that are either in your ~/.ssh/config, /etc/hosts or are resolveable via dns or zeroconf. If no host is specified the current host is queried.
Remote hosts are queried using SSH and you must have credentials set up for each host. See ssh(1) for more information on ssh. If you can ssh to a host without a password, then it can be queried with this tool.
Sorting: Sorting is done based on column names. The columns names are, in order of output:
host, ip, machtype, uptime
Sorting is controlled via the -r and -s flags (See above)
