POLL(F)                  XENIX System V                   POLL(F)



     Name
          poll: Poll, Poll.hour, Poll.day - Format of UUCP Poll files.

     Description
          The Poll file (/usr/lib/uucp/Poll) contains information for
          polling remote computers.  Each entry in the Poll file
          contains the name of a remote computer to call, followed by
          a tab character, and the hours the computer should be
          called.  The hours must be integers in the range 0-23.

          Poll file entries have the following format:

               sysname<TAB>hour ...


          The following entry provides polling of computer gorgon
          every four hours:

               gorgon    0 4 8 12 16 20

          The uudemon.poll (see uudemon(ADM)) script uses the Poll
          file to set up the polling.  Alternatively, uudemon.poll2
          uses the files Poll.hour and Poll.day to perform similar,
          but more precise functions.  The format of these files is
          identical to Poll.
