NAME
     uucleanup - uucp spool directory clean-up

SYNOPSIS
     /usr/lib/uucp/uucleanup [ -Ctime ] [ -Wtime ] [ -Xtime ] [ -mstring ]
          [ -otime ] [ -ssystem ]

DESCRIPTION
     uucleanup scans the spool directories for old files and takes appropriate
     action to remove them in a useful way:

          Inform the requester of send/receive requests for systems that can
          not be reached.

          Return mail that 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 uucleanup
     processes 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 are removed with
               appropriate information to the requester (default 7 days).

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

     -Wtime    Any C. files equal to time days old causes a mail message to be
               sent to the requester warning about the delay in contacting the
               remote.  The message includes the JOBID, and in the case of
               mail, the mail message.  The administrator can 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 are removed.
               The D. files are probably not present (if they were, the X.
               could get executed).  But if there are D. files, they are taken
               care of by D. processing (default 2 days).

     -mstring  This line is included in the warning message generated by the
               -W option.

     -otime    Other files whose age is more than time days are deleted
               (default 2 days).  The default line is "See your local
               administrator to locate the problem".

     -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.  (If
               uucleanup was compiled with -DSMALL, no debugging output is
               available.)

     This program is typically started by the shell uudemon.cleanup, which
     should be started by cron(1M).
