uuxqt
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.
