NAME

uuclean − uucp spool directory clean-up

USAGE

uuclean [ options ]

DESCRIPTION

Uuclean will scan the uucp spool directory for files with the specified prefix and delete all those which are older than the specified number of hours. 

Cron(8) usually starts this program. 

OPTIONS

The following options are available. 

−ddir searches the directory named dir for files. 

−ppre scans for files with pre as the file prefix.  Up to 10 −p arguments may be specified.  A −p without any pre following will cause all files older than time (see below) to be deleted. 

−ntime deletes files older than time hours, if the prefix test is satisfied.  (Default time is 72 hours)

−m sends mail to the owner of the file when it is deleted. 

NOTES

Uuclean does not automatically recognize uucp subdirectories.  Use uuclean with the -d option to clean subdirectories.
