uutry, Uutry, uukick

PURPOSE

     Contacts a remote system with debugging turned on.

SYNOPSIS
     uutry [-x debug-level] [-r] system-name

     Uutry [-x debug-level] [-r] system-name

     Nutry [-x debug-level] [-r] system-name

DESCRIPTION

     The uutry command contacts a specified system with debug-
     ging turned on,  thus providing a means  of checking call
     processing  capabilities  with  debugging  output.   This
     command invokes the uucico  program, which in turn estab-
     lishes the actual connection to the remote system.

     The debugging  output (information about the  progress of
     uucico  in establishing  the  connection, performing  the
     remote login, and so on) is scrolled on the screen of the
     local system.   Once the  system has  finished displaying
     this information, use INTERRUPT  (Alt-Pause) to return to
     the prompt.

     The  debugging information  scrolls rapidly,  so you  may
     want to  direct that  output to a  file by  issuing Uutry
     rather than uutry.

     The Uutry command (note  the uppercase &ldq.U&rdq.) works
     almost exactly like uutry,  with one exception.  In addi-
     tion to  displaying the  debugging output on  the screen,
     Uutry  also  directs this  information  to  a file  named
     /tmp/system_name.  Again, when the last of the output has
     been displayed, use INTERRUPT to return to the prompt.

     Note:  You can  also press INTERRUPT while  the system is
     scrolling the  output generated  by Uutry.   This returns
     you to the prompt, while  the uucico program continues to
     place the debugging information in /tmp/system_name.  Use
     the pg command to examine this file.

     The  uukick  command  also  works  just  like  the  uutry
     command.  The only difference between the two commands is
     that  uukick  takes  only the  -xdebug_level  flag.   You
     cannot  override the  retry time  with the  -rsystem_name
     flag.

FLAGS

     -xdebug_level    Used  in   debugging  to   override  the
                      default  level  of   5,  and  produce  a
                      detailed  output  of  the  program  exe-
                      cution.  The debugging level is a single
                      digit between  0 and 9.   Higher numbers
                      produce more detailed debugging informa-
                      tion, which  is displayed on  the screen
                      of the local system.
     -r               Overrides  the retry  time specified  in
                      /usr/spool/uucp/.Status.
