NAME

uustat − uucp status inquiry and job control

SYNOPSIS

uustat [ option ] ...

DESCRIPTION

Uustat will display the status of, or cancel, previously specified uucp commands, or provide general status on uucp connections to other systems.  The following options are recognized:

−mmch Report the status of accessibility of machine mch. If mch is specified as all, then the status of all machines known to the local uucp are provided. 

−kjobn Kill the uucp request whose job number is jobn. The killed uucp request must belong to the person issuing the uustat command unless he is the super-user. 

−chour Remove the status entries which are older than hour hours.  This administrative option can only be initiated by the user uucp or the super-user. 

−uuser Report the status of all uucp requests issued by user.

−ssys Report the status of all uucp requests which communicate with remote system sys.

−ohour Report the status of all uucp requests which are older than hour hours. 

−yhour Report the status of all uucp requests which are younger than hour hours. 

−jall Report the status of all the uucp requests. 

−v Report the uucp status verbosely.  If this option is not specified, a status code is printed with each uucp request. 

When no options are given, uustat outputs the status of all uucp requests issued by the current user.  Note that only one of the options −j, −m, −k, −c, or the rest of other options may be specified. 

For example, the command

uustat −uhdc −smhtsa −y72 −v

will print the verbose status of all uucp requests that were issued by user hdc to communicate with system mhtsa within the last 72 hours.  The meanings of the job request status are:

job-number user remote-system command-time status-time status

where the status may be either an octal number or a verbose description.  The octal code corresponds to the following description:

OCTAL STATUS

00001 the copy failed, but the reason cannot be determined

00002 permission to access local file is denied

00004 permission to access remote file is denied

00010 bad uucp command is generated

00020 remote system cannot create temporary file

00040 cannot copy to remote directory

00100 cannot copy to local directory

00200 local system cannot create temporary file

00400 cannot execute uucp

01000 copy succeeded

02000 copy finished, job deleted

04000 job is queued
 

The meanings of the machine accessibility status are:

system-name time status

where time is the latest status time and status is a self-explanatory description of the machine status.
