     UUSTAT(1C)                                             UUSTAT(1C)



     NAME
          uustat - uucp status inquiry and job control

     SYNOPSIS
          uustat [-a]
          uustat [-m]
          uustat [-p]
          uustat [-q]
          uustat [ -kjobid ]
          uustat [ -rjobid ]
          uustat [ -ssystem ] [ -uuser ]

     DESCRIPTION
          uustat will display the status of, or cancel, previously
          specified uucp commands, or provide general status on uucp
          connections to other systems.  Only one of the following
          options can be specified with uustat per command execution:

          -a        Output all jobs in queue.
          -m        Report the status of accessibility of all
                    machines.
          -p        Execute a ``ps -flp'' for all the process-ids that
                    are in the lock files.
          -q        List the jobs queued for each machine.  If a
                    status file exists for the machine, its date, time
                    and status information are reported.  In addition,
                    if a number appears in () next to the number of C
                    or X files, it is the age in days of the oldest
                    C./X. file for that system.  The Retry field
                    represents the number of hours until the next
                    possible call.  The Count is the number of failure
                    attempts.  NOTE: for systems with a moderate
                    number of outstanding jobs, this could take 30
                    seconds or more of real-time to execute.  As an
                    example of the output produced by the -q option:

                    eagle  3C  04/07-11:07NO DEVICES AVAILABLE
                    mh3bs3 2C  07/07-10:42SUCCESSFUL

          The above output tells how many command files are waiting
          for each system.  Each command file may have zero or more
          files to be sent (zero means to call the system and see if
          work is to be done).  The date and time refer to the
          previous interaction with the system followed by the status
          of the interaction.
          -kjobid   Kill the uucp request whose job identification is
                    jobid.  The killed uucp request must belong to the
                    person issuing the uustat command unless one is
                    the super-user.
          -rjobid   Rejuvenate jobid. The files associated with jobid
                    are touched so that their modification time is set
                    to the current time.  This prevents the cleanup

                    daemon from deleting the job until the jobs
                    modification time reaches the limit imposed by the
                    deamon.

          Either or both of the following options can be specified
          with uustat:

          -ssys     Report the status of all uucp requests for remote
                    system sys.
          -uuser    Report the status of all uucp requests issued by
                    user.

          Output for both the -s and -u options has the following
          format:

          eaglen0000 4/07-11:01:03(POLL)
          eagleN1bd7 4/07-11:07Seagledan522 /usr/dan/A
          eagleC1bd8 4/07-11:07Seagledan59 D.3b2al2ce4924
                     4/07-11:07Seagledanrmail mike
          With the above two options, the first field is the jobid of
          the job.  This is followed by the date/time.  The next field
          is either an 'S' or 'R' depending on whether the job is to
          send or request a file.  This is followed by the user-id of
          the user who queued the job.  The next field contains the
          size of the file, or in the case of a remote execution (
          rmail - the command used for remote mail), the name of the
          command.  When the size appears in this field, the file name
          is also given.  This can either be the name given by the
          user or an internal name (e.g., D.3b2alce4924) that is
          created for data files associated with remote executions
          (rmail in this example).
          When no options are given, uustat outputs the status of all
          uucp requests issued by the current user.
