NAME

uustat − uucp status inquiry and job control

SYNOPSIS

uustat −a|−m|−p| |−k jobid ] |−r jobid ]

uustat [ −s system ] [ −u user ]

AVAILABILITY

This command is available with the software  installation  option.   Refer to Installing the SunOS for information on how to install optional software. 

DESCRIPTION

uustat displays the status of, or cancels, previously specified uucp(1C) commands.  It also reports the status of uucp connections to other systems.  When no options are given, uustat displays the status of  all uucp requests issued by the current user. 

OPTIONS

Only one of the following options can be specified at a time:

−a Output all jobs in queue. 

−m Report  the  status  of   accessibility   of   all machines. 

−p Execute a ps −flp for all the PIDs listed in the lock files. 

−q List the jobs  queued  for  each  machine.   If  a status file exists for the machine, its date, time status information are reported.  In addition, if  a number appears in parentheses 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.   For  systems  with  a  moderate number  of  outstanding  jobs,  this could take 30 seconds or more to  execute.   An example of the output from −q is:

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

This indicates the number of command  files that 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 with job identification of jobid. You must either own the job to be killed, or be 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  next limit  imposed  by  the daemon. 

The following  options  can  be  specified separately or together:

−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

The first field is the job ID.  This is followed by the date and 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 request, 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 created for data files  associated  with  remote  executions (rmail in this example).
