NAME

uumonitor − Monitors the UUCP system

SYNOPSIS

/usr/lib/uucp/uumonitor

DESCRIPTION

The uumonitor command displays a synopsis in tabular format of the current UUCP status. The format of each line in the table is as follows:

system_name #C #X most_recent_status CNT:# time Table entries are defined as follows:

system_nameThe remote system for which the entry applies. 

#CThe number of C.files queued for the remote system. 

#XThe number of requests for remote execution from the remote system. 

most_recent_status
The result of the most recent attempt to connect to the remote system.

CNT:#The number of times that a failure to log in to the remote system has occurred.  This does not include the number failed dial attempts. 

timeThe time of the last status entry was made for this system. 

The uumonitor command is helpful for detecting systems that have backlogs, that have gone away for awhile, that have changed phone numbers, and so forth.  The CNT: field is useful for detecting a system whose login/passwd has changed.  If the CNT: field gets larger than the maximum allowable failures (currently 20), no further attempts to connect to this system are made.  If the number of C.files queued starts getting unusually large (depending on the system anywhere from 100-1000), action should be taken to determine the cause of the backlog.
