UUXQT(8)                                                 UUXQT(8)


NAME
       uuxqt - UUCP execution file interpreter

SYNOPSIS
       uuxqt [-Pparams] [-Sspool] [-snode] [-xdebug]

DESCRIPTION
       Uuxqt  interprets  execution  files  created  on  a remote
       system via uux(1) and transferred to the local system  via
       uucico(8).   When  invoking  uux to request remote command
       execution, it is uuxqt that actually executes the command.
       Normally,  uuxqt  is  forked from uucico to process queued
       execution  files;  for  debugging,  it  may  also  be  run
       manually by the UUCP administrator.

       Uuxqt  reads  the  UUCP  parameters  file  on  startup  to
       initialise parameter values.  It then  uses  setuid/setgid
       to UUCPUSER/UUCPGROUP.  (See uuparams(5) for details.)

       Uuxqt  runs in its own subdirectory, SPOOLDIR/.Xqtdir.  It
       copies  intermediate  files   to   this   directory   when
       necessary.

OPTIONS
       -Pparams
           Alters the pathname for the UUCP parameters file
           [default: `/usr/lib/uucp/CONFIG'].

       -Sspool
           Change   the   spool   directory   from   the  default
           [SPOOLDIR].  Note that uuxqt scans all the directories
           in  SPOOLALTDIRS  for  nodes  with work, but this flag
           alters which directory is scanned first.

       -snode
           Execute files from node.  Otherwise, a  scan  will  be
           made of all nodes for execution files.

       -xdebug
           Produce debugging output on stdout.  debug is a number
           between 0 and 99; higher numbers  give  more  detailed
           information.   Debugging   is   permitted   only   for
           privileged users (specifically, those with read access
           to L.sys(5)).

FILES
       /usr/lib/uucp/CONFIG      UUCP parameters file.
       LOCKDIR/LCK..XQT.SCANNING Uuxqt  lock  file  when scanning
                                 all nodes.
       LOCKDIR/LCK..XQT.node     Uuxqt lock file for node.
       LOCKDIR/LCK..XQT.n        Uuxqt     lock     file      for
                                 instantiation number n.
       LOGDIR/errors             UUCP error log.
       LOGDIR/uuxqt/node         Uuxqt log for node.
