UUXQT(8)UUXQT(8)NAMEuuxqt - UUCP execution file interpreter
SYNOPSISuuxqt [-Pparams] [-Sspool] [-snode] [-xdebug]
DESCRIPTION
Uuxqt interprets execution files created on a remote
system via uux(1) and transferred to the local system via
uucico(8). When invoking uux to request remote command
execution, it is uuxqt that actually executes the command.
Normally, uuxqt is forked from uucico to process queued
execution files; for debugging, it may also be run
manually by the UUCP administrator.
Uuxqt reads the UUCP parameters file on startup to
initialise parameter values. It then uses setuid/setgid
to UUCPUSER/UUCPGROUP. (See uuparams(5) for details.)
Uuxqt runs in its own subdirectory, SPOOLDIR/.Xqtdir. It
copies intermediate files to this directory when
necessary.
OPTIONS-Pparams
Alters the pathname for the UUCP parameters file
[default: `/etc/uucp/CONFIG'].
-Sspool
Change the spool directory from the default
[SPOOLDIR]. Note that uuxqt scans all the directories
in SPOOLALTDIRS for nodes with work, but this flag
alters which directory is scanned first.
-snode
Execute files from node. Otherwise, a scan will be
made of all nodes for execution files.
-xdebug
Produce debugging output on stdout. debug is a number
between 0 and 99; higher numbers give more detailed
information. Debugging is permitted only for
privileged users (specifically, those with read access
to L.sys(5)).
