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
