DESCRIPTION

The Basic Networking Utilities (BNU) program uuxqt executes specified commands
on designated remote systems.

Once uux is entered by a user, the program creates the necessary command (C.*),
data (D.), and execute (X.*) files and places them in the spooling directory on
the designated system.  The uux command then calls the uucico daemon, which in
turn attempts to contact the designated system to deliver the files.  When the
files have been transferred, uuxqt executes the commands on the designated
system.

The uuxqt program searches the spool directories on the designated system for
X.* files whose names indicate that they have been sent from another system.
The command checks each execute file for the following:

  o that all the required data (D.*) files are available and accessible

  o that file commands are permitted for the requesting system.

Note:  BNU uses the Permissions file to validate file accessibility and command
       execution permission.

The uuxqt program, one of the Basic Networking Utilities (BNU) daemons (a
program executed to handle file transfers and command executions), can be
executed manually by an individual with superuser privileges.  This daemon is
executed automatically by the uudemon.hour shell script, which is started
periodically by cron.
