NAME
     uucleanup - removes old files from the uucp spool directory

SYNOPSIS
     uucleanup [-Cdays] [-Ddays] [-mstring] [-odays] [-ssystem]
     [-Wdays] [-Xdays] [-xdebug-level]

ARGUMENTS
     -Cdays
          Removes any files beginning with C. that are as old as
          or older than the value specified by days and sends
          notification to the user who requested the transfer.
          If you do not use this option, uucleanup uses a default
          of 7.

     -Ddays
          Removes any files beginning with D. that are as old as
          or older than the value specified by days.  The
          uucleanup command attempts to deliver mail messages and
          runs rnews when appropriate. If you do not use this
          option, uucleanup uses a default of 7.

     -mstring
          Causes uucleanup to include string in the warning
          message generated by the -W option.

     -odays
          Removes files that are as old as or older than the
          value specified by days.  The set of files consists of
          those files that do not have a C., D., or X. prefix.
          If you do not use this option, uucleanup uses a default
          of 2.

     -ssystem
          Causes uucleanup to examine only the directory
          /usr/spool/uucp/system, where system is the name of the
          remote system.

     -Wdays
          Sends a warning to the user who requested the transfer
          for any file beginning with C. that is as old as or
          older than the value specified by days.  The warning is
          sent as a mail message and includes the job
          identification number and, in the case of mail, the
          mail message.  If you do not use this option, uucleanup
          uses a default of 1.  See the -m option for a way to
          include information that tells the user whom to contact
          to resolve the problem.

     -xdebug-level
          Causes uucleanup to be run with debugging turned on and
          at the debug level specified by debug-level.  The value

          of debug level is a number from 0 to 9.  Higher numbers
          produce more detailed debugging information.

     -Xdays
          Removes any files beginning with X. that are as old as
          or older than the value specified by days.  In the
          unlikely event that a corresponding file beginning with
          D. is present, it is handled in accordance with the -D
          option.  If you do not specify the -X option, uucleanup
          uses a default of 2.

DESCRIPTION
     uucleanup scans the directories in /usr/spool/uucp for old
     files and takes action to handle them in a useful way. The
     actions include sending a mail message to inform the user
     who requested the transmission of a file that the remote
     system cannot be reached, returning undeliverable mail,
     delivering rnews files addressed to the local system, and
     removing files that are older than a specified, or a
     default, date.

     You can use cron and the shell script uudemon.cleanup to run
     uucleanup automatically.
