UUCLEANUP(8C)                        BSD                         UUCLEANUP(8C)



NAME
     uucleanup - uucp spool-directory clean-up

SYNOPSIS
     /usr/lib/uucp/uucleanup [ -Ctime ] [ -Wtime ] [ -Xtime  ] [ -mstring ]
     [ -otime ] [ -ssystem ]

DESCRIPTION
     uucleanup scans the spool directories for old files and takes appropriate
     action to remove them in a useful way.  uucleanup informs you of
     send/receive requests for systems that cannot be reached.  It returns
     mail that cannot be delivered.  It deletes or executes rnews for rnews
     type files (depending on whether the news originated locally or
     remotely).  uucleanup removes all other files.

     In addition, you are warned about requests that have been waiting for a
     given number of days (the default is 1.)

OPTIONS
     -Ctime    Removes any C. files greater or equal to time days old and
               supplies you with the appropriate information.  (the default is
               7 days.)

     -Dtime    Removes any D. files greater or equal to time days old.
               Attempts to deliver mail messages and execute rnews when
               appropriate.  (the default is 7 days.)

     -Wtime    Sends a mail messsage concerning any C. files equal to time
               days old warning about the delay in contacting the remote.  The
               message includes the JOBID, and in the case of mail, the mail
               message.  The administrator can include a message line telling
               who to call to check the problem (see -m option).  (the default
               is 1 day)

     -Xtime    Removes any X. files greater or equal to time days old.  D.
               files are probably not present (if they were, X. should have
               been executed).  But if there are D. files, they are taken care
               of by D. processing.  (the default is 2 days.)

     -mstring  Includes this line in the warning message generated by the -W
               option.

     -otime    Deletes other files older than time days old.  (the default is
               2 days.)  The default line is "See your local administrator to
               locate the problem".

     -ssystem  Executes for system spool directory only.

     -xdebug_level
               debug_level is a single digit between 0 and 9; higher numbers
               give more detailed debugging information.  (If uucleanup is
               compiled with -DSMALL, no debugging output is available.)  This
               program is typically started by the shell uudemon.cleanup,
               which should be started by cron(8C).

NOTE
     uucleanup works as if all option times are specified to the default
     values unless you specifically set time.
