uucico(1M)

NAME

uucico − transfer files for the uucp system

SYNOPSIS

/usr/lib/uucp/uucico −r1 −s system [−x debug_level] [−d spool_directory]

/usr/lib/uucp/uucico [−x debug_level] [−d spool_directory]

DESCRIPTION

uucico scans the /usr/spool/uucp directories for work files. If such files exist, a connection to a remote system is attempted using the line protocol for the remote system specified in file /usr/lib/uucp/Systems. uucico then executes all requests for work and logs the results.

Options

Options are as follows:

−r1 Start uucico in the MASTER mode. The default is SLAVE mode.

−s system Do work only for the system specified by system. If there is no work for system on the local spool directory, initiate a connection to system to determine if system has work for the local system. This option must be used if −r1 is specified.

−d spool_directory
Search directory spool_directory instead of the default spool directories (usually /usr/spool/uucp/*).

−x debug_level Use debugging option. debug_level is an integer in the range 1 through 9. More debugging information is given for larger values of debug_level.

uucico is usually started by a local program (e.g., cron(1M), uucp(1), or uuxqt(1M)). It should only be directly initiated by a user when debugging.

When started by a local program, uucico is considered the MASTER and attempts a connection to a remote system. If uucico is started by a remote system, it is considered to be in SLAVE mode.

For the uucico connection to a remote system to be successful, there must be an entry in the /etc/passwd file on the remote system of the form:

uucp::5:5::/usr/spool/uucppublic:/usr/lib/uucp/uucico

In the HP Clustered environment, all UUCP activity is handled through device files residing on the cluster server as if the cluster were a single system.
