  NAME

    uucleanup - Runs uucp spool directory clean-up

  SYNOPSIS

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

  FLAGS

    -Ctime          Any C. files greater or equal to time days old will be
                    removed with appropriate information to the requestor.
                    (default 7 days)

    -Dtime          Any D. files greater or equal to time days old will be
                    removed.  An attempt will be made to deliver mail messages
                    and execute rnews when appropriate.  (default 7 days)

    -Wtime          Any C. files equal to time days old will cause a mail
                    message to be sent to the requestor warning about the
                    delay in contacting the remote.  The message includes the
                    JOBID, and in the case of mail, the mail message.  The
                    administrator may include a message line telling whom to
                    call to check the problem (-m flag).  (default 1 day)

    -Xtime          Any X. files greater or equal to time days old will be
                    removed.  The D. files are probably not present (if they
                    were, the X. could get executed).  But if there are D.
                    files, they will be taken care of by D. processing.
                    (default 2 days)

    -mstring        This line will be included in the warning message
                    generated by the -W flag.

    -otime          Other files whose age is more than time days will be
                    deleted.  (default 2 days) The default line is ``See your
                    local administrator to locate the problem''.

    -ssystem        Execute for system spool directory only.

    -xdebug_level   The -x debug level is a single digit between 0 and 9;
                    higher numbers give more detailed debugging information.
                    (If uucleanup was compiled with -DSMALL, no debugging
                    output will be available.)

  DESCRIPTION

    The uucleanup command will scan the spool directories for old files and
    take appropriate action to remove them in a useful way:

  uucleanup(8)                        CLIX                        uucleanup(8)



    ⊕  Inform the requestor of send/receive requests for systems that can not
       be reached.

    ⊕  Return mail, which cannot be delivered, to the sender.

    ⊕  Delete or execute rnews for rnews type files (depending on where the
       news originated-locally or remotely).

    ⊕  Remove all other files.

    In addition, there is a provision to warn users of requests that have been
    waiting for a given number of days (default 1).  Note that uucleanup will
    process as if all option time(s) were specified to the default values
    unless time is specifically set.

    This program is typically started by the shell uudemon.cleanup, which
    should be started by cron.

  EXAMPLES

    To clean up all D.* files older than 1 week:

    uucleanup -D7
