PURPOSE

     Executes remote command requests.

SYNOPSIS
     uuxqt [-s system][-x debug-level]

DESCRIPTION

     The Basic  Networking Utilities (BNU) program  uuxqt exe-
     cutes 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 desig-
     nated 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 trans-
     fers 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.

FLAGS

     -ssystem       The name  of the remote system.   Use only
                    when starting uuxqt  manually.  The system
                    name is supplied  internally when uuxqt is
                    started automatically.
     -xdebug_level  Displays  debugging   information  on  the
                    screen   of   the   local   system.    The
                    debugg_level is  a single digit  between 0
                    and 9.   The higher  the number,  the more
                    detailed the debugging information.

FILES

     /etc/locks/LCK*                 Prevents multiple  use of
                                     device.
     /usr/adm/uucp/Maxuuxqts         Limits   remote   command
                                     executions.
     /usr/adm/uucp/Permissions       Access permission codes.
     /usr/spool/uucp/*               Spooling directory.
