NAME
uucleanup - uucp spool directory clean-up
SYNOPSIS
/usr/lib/uucp/uucleanup [options]
DESCRIPTION
uucleanup will scan the spool directories for old files and take
appropriate action to remove them in a useful way:
Inform the requester of send/receive requests for systems that
can not be reached.
Return undeliverable mail to the sender.
Deliver rnews files addressed to the local system.
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 times were specified to the
default values unless time is specifically set.
The following options are available.
-Ctime Any C. files greater or equal to time days old will be
removed with appropriate information to the requester.
(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 requester 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 option). (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 Include string in the warning message generated by the -W
option.
-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.
(This option may not be available on all systems.)
This program is typically started by the shell uudemon.cleanup, which
should be started by cron(1M).
