SYNOPSIS
     uucleanup [-C time][-Dtime][-Xtime][-otime][-s system]

     uucleanup [-Wtime[-m string]][-Dtime][-Xtime][-otime][-s system]


DESCRIPTION

     The  Basic Networking  Utilities (BNU)  program uucleanup
     scans the spool directory (/usr/spool/uucp) for old files
     and takes appropriate  action to remove them  in a useful
     way.  Used  primarily by  the BNU  program administrator,
     uucleanup performs the following tasks:

     o   Informs  the requester  of send/receive  requests for
         systems that cannot be reached
     o   Warns users about requests that have been waiting for
         a given number of days; the default is 1 day
     o   Returns mail that cannot be delivered to the sender
     o   Removes all other files older than a specified number
         of days from the spool directory.

     The   uucleanup  program   is   started   by  the   shell
     uudemon.cleanup, located in  /usr/adm/uucp, which in turn
     is   started    by   the   cron   script,    located   in
     /usr/spool/cron/crontabs/uucp.  In  general, uucleanup is
     executed automatically.  You can also start the uucleanup
     program manually if you have superuser privileges.

     Note:  When  BNU is  installed, automatic cleanup  is not
     enabled.  Edit the file /usr/spool/cron/crontabs/uucp and
     remove the comment character  &ldq.#&rdq. from the begin-
     ning of the uudemon.cleanup line.

FLAGS

     -Ctime    Removes any  C.* (command) files as  old as, or
               older  than, the  number of  days specified  in
               time, and sends  appropriate information to the
               requester.   Unless  specified  otherwise,  the
               default time is 7 days.
     -Dtime    Removes  any D.*  (data)  files as  old as,  or
               older  than, the  number of  days specified  in
               time.  Also  attempts to deliver  any remaining
               mail messages.  The default time is 7 days.
     -Wtime    Sends a  mail message to the  requester warning
               that C.   files as old  as, or older  than, the
               number of  days specified in time  are still in
               the spool directory.   The message includes the

               job  ID and,  in  the case  of  mail, the  mail
               message.   The  administrator  may use  the  -m
               option to  include a message line  telling whom
               to call to check the problem.  The default time
               is 1 day.
     -Xtime    Removes any  X.* (execute) files as  old as, or
               older  than, the  number of  days specified  in
               time.  The default time is 2 days.

               Note:   There  are  probably  no  related  data
               files.   If  any  related  data  files  remain,
               however, they are handled by D.* processing, as
               described above.
     -mstring  Includes  a  specified  line  of  text  in  the
               warning message generated by the -Wtime option.
               The   default   line   is:  "See   your   local
               administrator to locate the problem".
     -otime    Removes other  files as old as,  or older than,
               the  number of  days  specified  in time.   The
               default time is 2 days.
     -ssystem  Executes uucleanup only  on the spool directory
               specified by system  The default is to clean up
               all BNU spool directories.

               Note:  Unless one of the time flags is set to a
               specific  number of  days,  uucleanup uses  the
               default times values.
