     NAME
          uuclean - uucp spool directory clean-up

     SYNOPSIS
          /usr/lib/uucp/uuclean [-ddirectory] [-mfile] [-ntime]
          [-ppre] [-ssys] [-wfile]

     DESCRIPTION
          uuclean will scan the spool directory for files with the
          specified prefix and delete all those which are older than
          the specified number of hours.

          The following flag options are available.

          -ddirectory  Clean directory instead of the spool directory.
                       If directory is not a valid spool directory it
                       cannot contain ``work files'' i.e., files whose
                       names start with ``C.''.  These files have
                       special meaning to uuclean pertaining to uucp
                       job statistics.

          -ppre        Scan for files with pre as the file prefix.  Up
                       to 10 -p arguments may be specified.  A -p
                       without any pre following will cause all files
                       older than the specified time to be deleted.

          -ntime       Files whose age is more than time hours will be
                       deleted if the prefix test is satisfied.
                       (Default time is 72 hours)

          -wfile       The default action for uuclean is to remove
                       files which are older than a specified time
                       (see -n flag option).  The -w flag option is
                       used to find those files older than time hours,
                       however, the files are not deleted.  If the
                       argument file is present the warning is placed
                       in file, otherwise, the warnings will go to the
                       standard output.

          -ssys        Only files destined for system sys are
                       examined.  Up to 10 -s arguments may be
                       specified.

          -mfile       The -m flag option sends mail to the owner of
                       the file when it is deleted.  If a file is
                       specified then an entry is placed in file.

          This program is typically started by cron(1M).
