UUX(C)                   XENIX System V                    UUX(C)



     Name
          uux - Executes command on remote XENIX.

     Syntax
          uux [ - ] command-string

     Description
          uux gathers 0 or more files from various systems, executes
          commands on a specified system, and sends the standard
          output to a file on a specified system.

          The command-string is made up of one or more arguments that
          look like a shell command line, except that the command and
          filenames may be prefixed by system-name!.  A null system-
          name is interpreted as the local system.

          Filenames may be (1) a full pathname; (2) a pathname
          preceded by ~xxx; where xxx is a user ID on the specified
          system and is replaced by that user's login directory; or
          (3) anything else prefixed by the current directory.

          The ``-'' option causes the standard input to the uux
          command to be the standard input to the command-string.

          For example, the command:

               uux "!diff usg!/usr/dan/f1 pwba!/a4/dan/f1 > !fi.diff"

          will get the f1 files from the usg and pwba machines,
          execute a diff command and put the results in f1.diff in the
          local directory.

          Any special shell characters such as <>;| should be quoted
          either by quoting the entire command-string, or quoting the
          special characters as individual arguments.

     Files
          /usr/uucp/spool   Spool directory

          /usr/uucp/*      Other data and programs

     Warning
          An installation may, and for security reasons generally
          will, limit the list of commands executable on behalf of an
          incoming request from uux. Typically, a restricted site will
          permit little other than the receipt of mail via uux.

     Notes
          Only the first command of a shell pipeline may have a

          system-name!.  All other commands are executed on the system
          of the first command.

          The shell metacharacter * will probably not perform as
          expected.

          The shell tokens << and >> are not implemented.

          There is no notification of denial of execution on the
          remote machine.
