uuxqt(1M) uuxqt(1M)NAME uuxqt - handles requests from remote systems to run commands SYNOPSIS uuxqt [-ssystem] [-xdebug-level] ARGUMENTS -ssystem Specifies the name of a remote system. This option causes uuxqt to look only for jobs from the system specified by system. -xdebug-level Causes uuxqt to write debugging information on the standard output. The value of debug-level is a number from 0 to 9. Higher numbers produce more detailed debugging information. DESCRIPTION uuxqt handles requests, generated by uux, from remote systems to run commands on the local system. For example, when a user on a remote system sends mail to a user on the local system, the mail command on the remote system generates a uux request, which is transferred to the local system by uucico. The uucico process running on the local system starts uuxqt, which runs mail to deliver the mail to the local user. The uuxqt command searches /usr/spool/uucp, looking for execution requests. For each request, uuxqt verifies that all the required data files are available and accessible and uses the file /usr/lib/uucp/Permissions to validate an extra level of file and command execution permissions. The uuxqt command sets two environment variables before running the requested command: UU_MACHINE Specifies the name of the remote system that transferred the job to the local system UU_USER Specifies the login name of the user that sent the job You can use the environment variables to disable or enable certain users or systems when writing scripts for remote systems to execute.
