     NAME
          uuclean - clean up the uucp spool directory

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

     DESCRIPTION
          uuclean scans the spool directory (by default,
          /usr/spool/uucp) for files with the specified prefix and
          deletes those that are older than the specified number of
          hours.  By default, uuclean deletes files beginning with
          LCK, C, X, T, TM, D, STST, and LTMP.  uuclean creates a
          record of deletions in the spool directory called LOGDEL.

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

     FLAG OPTIONS
          The following flag options are interpreted by uuclean:

          -ddirectory  Clean directory instead of the spool directory.

          -mfile       Send mail to the owner of the file when it is
                       deleted.  If file is specified, an entry is
                       placed in file.

          -ntime       Delete files whose age is more than time
                       (hours) if the prefix test is satisfied.  The
                       default time is 72 hours.

          -ppre        Scan for files that begin with pre.  Up to 25
                       -p arguments may be specified.  A -p without
                       any pre following causes all files older than
                       the specified time to be deleted.

          -ssys        Examine only files destined for system sys.  Up
                       to 10 -s arguments may be specified.

          -wfile       Find those files older than time (hours); how-
                       ever, the files are not deleted.  If the argu-
                       ment file is present, the warning is placed in
                       file; otherwise, the warnings go to the stan-
                       dard output.  The default action for uuclean is
                       to remove files that are older than a specified
                       time (see the -n flag option).

     EXAMPLES
             uuclean -pT -pRC -n0 -m

          removes all files in /usr/spool/uucp with a prefix of T or
          RC and mails notifications to the owners of the removed
          files.
