NAME

uucico − file transport program for the uucp system

SYNOPSIS

/usr/lib/uucp/uucico [ −r role_number ] [ −x debug_level ]
    [ −i interface ] [ −d spool_directory ] −s system_name

DESCRIPTION

uucico is the file transport program for uucp work file transfers.  Role numbers for the −r are the digit 1 for master mode or 0 for slave mode (default).  The −r option should be specified as the digit 1 for master mode when uucico is started by a program or cron. Uux and uucp both queue jobs that will be transferred by uucico.  It is normally started by the scheduler, uuschedf1, but can be started manually; this is done for debugging.  For example, the shell Uutry starts uucico with debugging turned on.  A single digit must be used for the −x option with higher numbers for more debugging. 

The −i option defines the interface used with uucico.  This interface only affects slave mode.  Known interfaces are UNIX (default), TLI (basic Transport Layer Interface), and TLIS (Transport Layer Interface with Streams modules, read/write). 

The −d option is used to specify the directory (spool_directory) that contains the work files to be transferred.  The default spool directory is /usr/spool/uucp.  The −s option defines the system (system_name) that uucico will try to contact.  The system_name must be defined in the Systems file.
