NAME
uustat - uucp status inquiry and job control
SYNOPSIS
uustat [-q] or [-m] or [-kjobid [-n]] or [-rjobid [-n]] or [-p]
uustat [-a] [-ssystem [-j]] [-uuser] [-Sqric]
uustat -tsystem [-dnumber] [-c]
DESCRIPTION
uustat functions in the following three areas: displays the general
status of, or cancels, previously specified uucp commands; provides
remote system performance information, in terms of average transfer
rates or average queue times; provides general remote system-specific
and user-specific status of uucp connections to other systems.
Here are the options that obtain general status of, or cancel,
previously specified uucp commands; uustat allows only one of these
options to appear on each uustat command line execution:
-a List all jobs in queue.
-j List the total number of jobs displayed. The -j option
must be used in conjunction with the -a or the -s option.
-kjobid Kill the uucp request whose job identification is jobid.
The killed uucp request must belong to the person issuing
the uustat command unless one is the super-user or uucp
administrator. If the job is killed by the super-user or
uucp administrator, electronic mail is sent to the user.
-m Report the status of accessibility of all machines.
-n Suppress all standard out output, but not standard error.
The -n option is used in conjunction with the -k and -r
options.
-p Execute the command ps -flp for all the process-ids that
are in the lock files.
-q List the jobs queued for each machine. If a status file
exists for the machine, its date, time and status
information are reported. In addition, if a number appears
in parentheses next to the number of C or X files, it is
the age in days of the oldest C./X. file for that system.
The Retry field represents the number of hours until the
next possible call. The Count is the number of failure
attempts. NOTE: for systems with a moderate number of
outstanding jobs, this could take 30 seconds or more of
real-time to execute. Here is an example of the output
produced by the -q option:
eagle 3C 04/07-11:07 NO DEVICES AVAILABLE
mh3bs3 2C 07/07-10:42 SUCCESSFUL

The above output tells how many command files are waiting
for each system. Each command file may have zero or more
files to be sent (zero means to call the system and see if
work is to be done). The date and time refer to the
previous interaction with the system followed by the status
of the interaction.
-rjobid Rejuvenate jobid. The files associated with jobid are
touched so that their modification time is set to the
current time. This prevents the cleanup daemon from
deleting the job until the jobs' modification time reaches
the limit imposed by the daemon.
Here are the options that provide remote system performance
information, in terms of average transfer rates or average queue
times; the -c and -d options can only be used in conjunction with the
-t option:
-tsystem Report the average transfer rate or average queue time for
the past 60 minutes for the remote system. The following
parameters can only be used with this option:
-dnumber number is specified in minutes. Used to override the 60
minute default used for calculations. These calculations
are based on information contained in the optional
performance log and therefore may not be available.
Calculations can only be made from the time that the
performance log was last cleaned up.
-c Average queue time is calculated when the -c parameter is
specified and average transfer rate when -c is not
specified. For example, the command
uustat -teagle -d50 -c
produces output in the following format:
average queue time to eagle for last 50 minutes: 5
seconds
The same command without the -c parameter produces output
in the following format:
average transfer rate with eagle for last 50 minutes:
2000.88 bytes/sec
Here are the options that provide general remote system-specific and
user-specific status of uucp connections to other systems. Either or
both of the following options can be specified with uustat. The -j
option can be used in conjunction with the -s option to list the
total number of jobs displayed:

-ssystem Report the status of all uucp requests for remote system
system.
-uuser Report the status of all uucp requests issued by user.
Output for both the -s and -u options has the following format:
eagleN1bd7 4/07-11:07 S eagle dan 522 /home/dan/A
eagleC1bd8 4/07-11:07 S eagle dan 59 D.3b2al2ce4924
4/07-11:07 S eagle dan rmail mike
With the above two options, the first field is the jobid of the job.
This is followed by the date/time. The next field is an S if the job
is sending a file or an R if the job is requesting a file. The next
field is the machine where the file is to be transferred. This is
followed by the user-id of the user who queued the job. The next
field contains the size of the file, or in the case of a remote
execution (rmail is the command used for remote mail), the name of
the command. When the size appears in this field, the file name is
also given. This can either be the name given by the user or an
internal name (e.g., D.3b2alce4924) that is created for data files
associated with remote executions (rmail in this example).
-Sqric Report the job state: q for queued jobs, r for running
jobs, i for interrupted jobs, and c for completed jobs.
A job is queued if the transfer has not started. A job is
running when the transfer has begun. A job is interrupted
if the transfer began but was terminated before the file
was completely transferred. A completed job, of course, is
a job that successfully transferred. The completed state
information is maintained in the accounting log, which is
optional and therefore may be unavailable. The parameters
can be used in any combination, but at least one parameter
must be specified. The -S option can also be used with -s
and -u options. The output for this option is exactly like
the output for -s and -u except that the job states are
appended as the last output word. Output for a completed
job has the following format:
eagleC1bd3 completed
When no options are given, uustat outputs the status of all uucp
requests issued by the current user.

DIAGNOSTICS
The -t option produces no message when the data needed for the
calculations is not being recorded.
NOTES
After the user has issued the uucp request, if the file to be
transferred is moved or deleted or was not copied to the spool
directory with the -C option when the uucp request was made ,uustat
reports a file size of -99999. This job will eventually fail because
the file(s) to be transferred can not be found.
