uucico

PURPOSE

     File transport program for the BNU facility.

SYNOPSIS
     uucico [-r role-number][-x debug-level][-s system-name]


DESCRIPTION

     The uucico program  transports Basic Networking Utilities
     (BNU) requests.  The BNU commands uucp and uux both queue
     jobs that  are transferred  to the specified  computer by
     uucico after  the required  data, work, or  execute files
     have been created.

     The uucico program is  normally started by the scheduler,
     uusched, but  it can  be started manually  for debugging.
     The  BNU commands  uutry, Uutry,  Nutry, and  uukick also
     start uucico with debugging turned on.

     The uucico  program is a  BNU daemon (a  program executed
     internally  to handle  file  transfers  and command  exe-
     cutions).  It  selects the  device used for  the communi-
     cations link,  establishes the  connection to  the remote
     computer, and performs the  required login sequence.  The
     program also  performs permission checks,  transfers data
     (D.*) and command (C.*) files, logs results, and notifies
     specified users of transfer requests.

FLAGS

     -r role_number The role numbers are  the number 1 for the
                    server mode  and the  number 0  for client
                    mode.   The default  is 0.   If uucico  is
                    started manually, this  flag should be set
                    to 1.
     -x debug_level Displays  debugging   information  on  the
                    screen of  the local terminal.   The valid
                    range  for debug_level  is  0  to 9.   The
                    higher the  number, the more  detailed the
                    final report.  This flag is useful in cor-
                    recting  problems   with  the  expect-send
                    sequence in the Systems file.

     -s system_name The name  of the remote system.   Use only
                    when   starting   uucico  manually.    The
                    system_name  is  supplied internally  when
                    uucico is started automatically.
