uudemon(4)uudemon(4)NAME
uudemon.admin, uudemon.cleanu, uudemon.hour, uudemon.poll - Administra‐
tive shell scripts for polling remote systems, cleaning up spool direc‐
tories, reporting status to the system administrator, and routine invo‐
cations of the uuxqt and uusched daemons
SYNOPSIS
These shell scripts reside in the following directory:
/usr/lib/uucp
DESCRIPTION
All the scripts can be run from the command line or can be run automat‐
ically by the cron daemon. To automatically run the scripts, remove the
comment character (#) from the beginning of the relevant line in the
/var/spool/cron/crontabs/uucp file.
This script reports status to the system administrator. It issues the
uustat command to find out the status of uucp jobs. It mails the
results to the uucp login ID. The script may be modified to send mail
to any login ID such as the uucp administrative login ID (uucpa) or
root. This script cleans up the /var/spool/uucp and /var/spool/uucp‐
public directories by running the uucleanup command. The uucleanup com‐
mand is run with the following parameters: -C7, -D7, X2, -o2, -W1.
This script runs the uusched and uuxqt daemons in the background. This
script polls the systems listed in the /usr/lib/uucp/Poll file. The
uudemon.poll script should be scheduled before the uudemon.hour script.
This allows uudemon.poll to create any command files before cron runs
the uudemon.hour script.
FILES
Contains the uudemon.admin, uudemon.cleanu, uudemon.hour and uude‐
mon.poll files. Contains the uucp file.
