NAME
uucico, uusched, uuxqt, kick, debug - uucp file transport and execu-
tion
SYNOPSIS
/usr/lib/uucp/uucico [ -r1 -s system ] [ -x debug ] [ -d spool_direc-
tory ]
/usr/lib/uucp/uusched [ -x debug ] [ -u debug ]
/usr/lib/uucp/kick system
/usr/lib/uucp/debug system
/usr/lib/uucp/uuxqt [ -s system ] [ -x debug ]
DESCRIPTION
Uucico transfers files between systems for uucp(1). It is normally in-
voked by login for an incoming connection (a slave), or by uusched to
call out to another system (a master). The options are
-r1 This is a master; option -s is required. In the absence of
-r1 the process is a slave and expects to speak to a master
on standard input and standard output.
-s system Call the named system.
-x debug Turn on debugging output; debug is a single digit, larger for
more output.
Uusched invokes uucico for each system with work pending. It is called
by uucp and uux(1) after work is queued, and should be invoked regu-
larly by cron(8). The options are
-x debug As for uucico.
-u debug Invoke uucico with option -x debug.
Kick invokes uucico in the background to call out to the specified sys-
tem. Debug causes a call with a moderate amount of debugging output
(-x4). Both attempt to remove existing system status information for
system, so that a call will be attempted regardless of recent failures.
Uuxqt executes commands requested remotely by uux(1). It searches the
uucp spool directories looking for filenames starting with X., checks
the Permissions file to see that all required data files are available
and accessible and that the requested command is permitted for the re-
questing system, and invokes the command if all is well.
Before a command is invoked, the file creation mask (umask(2)) is set
to 0 and these environment variables are set:
UU_MACHINE
the name of the last sending machine
UU_USER
the user that sent the job
PATH set to
USER set to
FILES
how many copies of
uusched may be active at once
ditto for
uuxqt
