ruptime(1) doesn't show hosts in the output list at all if they have
been down for four days or more [*], yet the manpage does not document this
behaviour.
[*] as shown by the code
...
#define LEFTEARTH(h) (now - (h)->hs_wd->wd_recvtime > 4*24*60*60)
...
for (i = 0; i < nhosts; i++) {
hsp = &hs[i];
if (LEFTEARTH(hsp))
continue;
