uucleanup(1M)                                                 uucleanup(1M)

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 systems 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 specifically set.

OPTIONS
     -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 "See your local administra-
          tor to locate the problem".

     -ssystem
          Execute for system spool directory only.

     -xdebuglevel
          The -x debug level is a single digit between 0 and 9; higher
          numbers give more detailed debugging information. (This option
          may not be available on all systems.)

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