     UUCLEAN(ADM)             XENIX System V              UUCLEAN(ADM)



     Name
          uuclean - UUCP spool directory clean-up.

     Syntax
          /usr/lib/uucp/uuclean [ -Ctime ] [ -Dtime ] [ -Wtime ] [
          -Xtime ] [ -mstring ] [ -otime ] [ -ssystem ] [
          -xdebug_level ]

     Description
          uuclean will scan the UUCP spool directories for old files
          and take appropriate action to remove them in a useful way:

          Inform the requestor of send/receive requests for systems
          that cannot be reached.

          Return mail, which cannot be delivered, to the sender.

          Delete or execute rnews for rnews type files (depending on
          where the news originated--locally or remotely).

          Remove all other files.

          In addition, there is provision to warn users of requests
          that have been waiting for a given number of days (default
          1).  Note that uuclean will process as if all option times
          were specified to the default values unless time is
          specifically set.

          The following options are available.

          -Ctime    Any C. files greater or equal to time days old
                    will be removed with appropriate information to
                    the requestor.  (default 7 days)

          -Dtime    Any D. files greater or equal to time days old
                    will be removed.  An attempt will be made to
                    deliver mail messages and execute rnews when
                    appropriate.  (default 7 days)

          -Wtime    Any C. files equal to time days old will cause a
                    mail message to be sent to the requestor warning
                    about the delay in contacting the remote.  The
                    message includes the JOBID, and in the case of
                    mail, the mail message.  The administrator may
                    include a message line telling whom to call to
                    check the problem (-m option).  (default 1 day)

          -Xtime    Any X. files greater or equal to time days old
                    will be removed.  The D. files are probably not
                    present (if they were, the X. could get executed).
                    But if there are D. files, they will be taken care
                    of by D. processing.  (default 2 days)

     UUCLEAN(ADM)             XENIX System V              UUCLEAN(ADM)



          -mstring  This line will be included in the warning message
                    generated by the -W option.  The default line is
                    "See your local administrator to locate the
                    problem".

          -otime    Other files whose age is more than time days will
                    be deleted.  (default 2 days)

          -ssystem  Execute for system spool directory only.

          -xdebug_level
               The -x debug level is a single digit between 0 and 9;
               higher numbers give more detailed debugging
               information.

          This program is typically started by the shell
          uudemon.clean, which should be started by cron(C).  uuclean
          can only be executed by the super user or uucp.

     Files
          /usr/lib/uucp       directory with commands used by uuclean
                              internally

          /usr/spool/uucp     spool directory
