uucp.1 (2010 09)

u
uucp(1) uucp(1)
-j Output the ASCII job identification string on standard output. This job
identification can be used by
uustat to obtain the status or terminate a job (see
uustat (1)).
-mfile Send mail to the requester when the copy is completed.
-nuser Notify user on the remote system that a file was sent.
-r Do not start the file transfer; just queue the job.
-sfile Report status of the transfer to file. Note that file must be a full path name.
-x debug_level
Produce debugging on standard output. debug_level is a number between 0 and 9;
higher numbers give more information.
uulog
uulog queries a log file of
uucp transactions in a file /var/uucp/.Log/uucico/
system .
The following options cause
uulog to print logging information:
-s system Print information about work involving system .
-f system Do a tail -f (see tail (1)) of the file transfer log for system .
Other options used in conjunction with the
-s and -f options above are:
-x Search for the given system in the /var/uucp/.Log/uuxqt/
system file instead
of in the
uucico log file.
-number Do a tail (1) command of number lines.
uuname
uuname lists the uucp names of known systems. uuname -l returns the local system’s default name.
uutry
uutry tests for the successful login to the remote system. This is executed for checking communication
channel.
-r1 Starts uutry in the MASTER mode. The default is SLAVE mode.
-s system Do work only for the system specified by system . If there is no work for system on
the local spool directory, initiate a connection to system to determine if system has
work for the local system. This option must be used if
-r1 is specified.
-x debug_level
Produce debugging on standard output. debug_level is a number between 0 and 9;
higher numbers give more information.
When started by a local program,
uutry is considered the MASTER and attempts a connection to a
remote system. If uutry is started by a remote system, it is considered to be in SLAVE mode.
Access Control Lists (ACLs)
A file’s optional ACL entries are not preserved across
uucp transmission. Instead, new files have a sum-
mary of the access modes (as returned in st_mode by stat(); see stat (2)).
EXTERNAL INFLUENCES
Environment Variables
LC_TIME determines the format and contents of date and time strings displayed by uucp and uulog
commands.
LANG determines the language in which messages are displayed by uucp and uuname commands.
If
LC_TIME is not specified in the environment or is set to the empty string, the value of LANG is used as
a default for each unspecified or empty variable. If LANG is not specified or is set to the empty string, a
default of "C" (see lang(5)) is used instead of LANG. If any internationalization variable contains an
invalid setting, uucp, uulog, and uuname behave as if all internationalization variables are set to "C".
