UUCP Overview UUCP Unattended communication with remote systems UUCP stands for ``UNIX to UNIX copy''. It is a system of com- mands that allows you to exchange files with other COHERENT or UNIX systems, in an unattended manner. With UUCP, you can send mail to other systems, upload files, and execute commands. When configured correctly, UUCP also lets other users upload files to your system, copy files from it, and execute commands. All this can be done without your having to sit at your console and type commands; thus, files can be transferred in the small hours, when telephone rates are lower and computers are relative free. UUCP gives you access to the Usenet, a nation-wide network of UNIX and COHERENT users. Access to the Usenet will let you ex- change mail with any of the thousands of Usenet users, receive mail from them, download source code for many useful programs, and read the latest news on a host of subject. ***** See Also ***** commands, uucico, uucp, uudecode, uuencode, uuinstall, uulog, uumvlog, uuname, uutouch, uuxqt UUCP, Remote Communications Utility, tutorial ***** Notes ***** The Lexicon entry for sh contains a sample shell script that logs UUCP information into a file of your choice.
