NAME

uucpd − Manages communications between the uucp program and TCP/IP

SYNOPSIS

uucpd

DESCRIPTION

The uucpd daemon cannot be started directly from the command line; instead, this daemon enables uucp connections via TCP/IP. 

The uucpd daemon is started at system initialization or by the inetd daemon.  The daemon runs as a background process on all the networked systems before the uucp program can use the TCP/IP system to communicate.
