        SYNTAX

        /usr/lib/uucp/uucleanup [ -Ctime ] [ -Wtime ] [ -Xtime ] [
        -mstring ]
        [ -otime ] [ -ssystem ]


        DESCRIPTION

        uucleanup will scan the spool directories for old files and take
        appropriate action to remove them in one of the following ways:

        Inform the requestor of send/receive requests for systems that
        can not be reached.

        Return mail, which cannot be delivered, to the sender.

        Delete or execute rnews for rnews type files (depending on where
        the news originated--locally or remotely).  Rnews is a commonly
        used news reading program available in public domain software.

        Remove all other files.

        In addition, there is 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 you specifically set time (see
        Notes).

        The following options are available.

        -Ctime    Any C. files greater or equal to time days old will be
                  removed with appropriate information to the requestor.
                  (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 requestor 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

                                                            uucleanup(1m)



                  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  This line will be included in the warning message
                  generated by the -W option.  The default line is "See
                  your local administrator to locate the problem".

        -otime    Other files whose age is more than time days will be
                  deleted.  (default 2 days)

        -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.  (If you
             have a source license and do not want debugging, compile
             with the -DSMALL option.)

        This program is typically started by the shell uudemon.cleanup,
        which should be started by cron(1m).
