UUCLEAN(8C)                          BSD                           UUCLEAN(8C)



NAME
     uuclean - uucp spool directory clean-up

SYNOPSIS
     /usr/lib/uucp/uuclean options

DESCRIPTION
     uuclean scans the spool directory for files with the specified prefix
     (see OPTIONS below) and deletes all files that are older than a specified
     number of hours.

     This program is typically started by cron(8).

OPTIONS
     -ddirectory
               Cleans directory instead of the spool directory.  (Note: if
               directory is not a valid spool directory, it cannot contain
               "work files", that is, files whose names start with "C".  These
               files have special meaning to uuclean pertaining to uucp job
               statistics.)

     -ppre     Scans for files with pre as the file prefix.  You can specify
               up to 10 -p arguments.  Using -p without pre following causes
               all files older than the specified time to be deleted.

     -ntime    Deletes files whose age is more than time hours if the prefix
               test is satisfied (the default time is 72 hours).

     -wfile    Finds files older than time hours, but does not delete them.
               If the file argument is present, a warning is placed in file.
               Otherwise, warnings go to the standard output.

     -ssys     Examines only those files destined for system sys.  You can
               specify up to 10 -s arguments.

     -mfile    Sends mail to the owner of the file when it is deleted.  If a
               file is specified, a warning is also placed in file.
