uucico(1M) System Administration Commands uucico(1M)NAMEuucico - file transport program for the uucp system
SYNOPSIS
/usr/lib/uucp/uucico [-f] [-c type] [-d spool-directory]
[-i interface] [-r role-number] [-s system-name]
[-x debug-level]
DESCRIPTIONuucico is the file transport program for uucp work file transfers.
OPTIONS
The following options are supported:
-f This option is used to "force execution" of
uucico by ignoring the limit on the maximum num‐
ber of uucicos defined in the /etc/uucp/Limits
file.
-c type The first field in the Devices file is the "Type"
field. The -c option forces uucico to only use
entries in the "Type" field that match the user
specified type. The specified type is usually the
name of a local area network.
-d spool-directory This option specifies the directory spool-direc‐
tory that contains the uucp work files to be
transferred. The default spool directory is
/var/spool/uucp.
-i interface This option defines the interface used with
uucico. The interface only affects slave mode.
Known interfaces are UNIX (default), TLI (basic
Transport Layer Interface), and TLIS (Transport
Layer Interface with Streams modules,
read/write).
-r role-number The role-number 1 is used for master mode. role-
number 0 is used for slave mode (default). When
uucico is started by a program or cron, role-num‐
ber 1 should be used for master mode.
-s system-name The -s option defines the remote system (system-
name) that uucico will try to contact. It is
required when the role is master; system-name
must be defined in the Systems file.
-x debug-level Both uux and uucp queue jobs that will be trans‐
ferred by uucico. These jobs are normally started
by the uusched scheduler, for debugging purposes,
and can be started manually. For example, the
shell Uutry starts uucico with debugging turned
on. The debug-level is a number between 0 and 9.
Higher numbers give more detailed debugging
information.
