UUX(1) General Commands Manual UUX(1) NAME uux - unix to unix command execution SYNOPSIS uux [ options ] command-arg ... DESCRIPTION Uux will execute a command on a specified system with files and stan- dard output on specified files and systems. For security reasons, most machines allow only selected commands to be run, perhaps only receipt of incoming mail. The command-args make up a sh(1) command with with command and file ar- guments possibly written system!file. A missing system is interpreted as the local system. Files may be prefixed by ~xxx/ to represent the home directory for login name xxx on the specified system. Uux copies all files to the execution system. Files to be returned as outputs must be enclosed in (escaped) parentheses. Files must have general read permission. The options are -aname Use name as the user identification replacing the initiator user-id. (Notification will be returned to the user.) -b Return standard input to the command if the exit status is non- zero. -c Don't copy local file to the spool directory for transfer to the remote machine (default). -C Force the copy of local files to the spool directory for trans- fer. -ggrade Grade is a single letter/number; earlier ASCII sequence charac- ters will cause the job to be transmitted earlier during a par- ticular conversation. The default is N. -j Place the jobid, an ASCII string, on the standard output. The jobid can be used by uustat(1) to obtain the status or terminate a job. -n Suppress mail notification about failures. -p - Take the standard input to uux as the standard input to the exe- cuted command. -r Don't start the file transfer, just queue the job. -sfile Report status of the transfer in file. -xdebug Produce debugging output on stdout. Debug is a number between 0 and 9; higher numbers give more detailed information. -z Notify the user if the command succeeds. FILES spool directory other data and programs SEE ALSO uucp(1), uucico(8), uustat(1) BUGS All the commands in a shell pipeline are executed on the machine of the first command. Because files are gathered into a common directory, two files for one command cannot have the same basename. This won't work: uux "a!diff b!/usr/dan/xyz c!/usr/dan/xyz > !xyz.diff". UUX(1)
