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  sys-
          tems 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 specifi-
     cally 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  prob-
               lem".

     -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).
