uusched

PURPOSE

     Schedules work for the BNU file transport program.

SYNOPSIS
     uusched [-u debug-level][-x debug-level]


DESCRIPTION

     The  uusched program  is the  Basic Networking  Utilities
     (BNU)  file-transport scheduler.   It is  one of  the BNU
     daemons  (a program  executed internally  to handle  file
     transfers and command executions).

     The uusched  daemon schedules the transfer  of files that
     are queued in the  /usr/spool/uucp directory.  The sched-
     uling program  first randomizes the work  and then starts
     the uucico daemon with the -s option.  This option speci-
     fies the computer for which  the particular job is sched-
     uled.

     The  uusched program  itself  is usually  started by  the
     shell    uudemon.hour,    which     is    started    from
     /usr/spool/cron/crontabs/uucp, which is, in turn, started
     by cron.

FLAGS

     -udebug_level  Passes  as -xdebug_level  to uucico.   The
                    debug_level  is  a  number from  0  to  9.
                    Higher numbers  give more  detailed debug-
                    ging  information, which  is displayed  on
                    the screen of the local system.
     -xdebug_level  Outputs  debugging messages  from uusched.
                    The debug_level  is a number from  0 to 9.
                    Higher numbers  give more  detailed debug-
                    ging information.
