UUCICO(8N)              COMMAND REFERENCE              UUCICO(8N)



NAME
     uucico - uupoll transfer files queued by uucp or uux

SYNOPSIS
     uucico [ -dspooldir ] [ -ggrade ] [ -rrole ] [ -R ] [
     -ssystem ] [ -xdebug ] [ -L ]
     [ -tturnaround ]

     uupoll [ -ggrade ] [ -n ] system [ system1 ... ]

DESCRIPTION
     uucico performs the actual work involved in transferring
     files between systems. uucp and uux merely queue requests
     for data transfer which uucico processes.

     The following options are available.

     -dspooldir
             Use spooldir as the spool directory.

     -ggrade Only send jobs of grade grade or higher this
             transfer.

     -R      Reverse roles. This tells the remote system to begin
             sending its jobs first, instead of waiting for the
             local machine to finish.

     -rrole  role is either 1 or 0. It signifies whether uucico
             is to run in master or slave mode. 1 is used when
             starting uucico by hand. 0 is used when another
             system calls the local system.

     -ssystem
             Call only system system.  If -s is not specified,
             and -r1 is specifed, uucico will attempt to call all
             systems for which there is work.  If -s is
             specified, a call will be made even if there is no
             work for that system. This is useful for polling
             systems.

     -xdebug Turn on debugging at level debug.  Level 5 is a good
             start when trying to find out why a call failed.
             Level 9 is very detailed. Level 99 is absurdly
             verbose.

     -L      Only call ``local'' sites. A site is considered
             local if the device-type field in L.sys is one of
             LOCAL, DIR or TCP.

     -tturnaround
             Use turnaround as the line turnaround time (in
             minutes) instead of the default 30.  If turnaround

             is missing or 0, line turnaround will be disabled.
             After uucico has been running in Slave mode for
             turnaround minutes, it will attempt to run in master
             mode by negotiating with the remote machine.  In the
             past, a large transfer of news in one direction
             would hold up mail going in the other direction.
             With the turnaround code working, the message flow
             will be more bidirectional in the short term.  This
             option only works with newer uucicos and is ignored
             by older ones.

     If uucico receives a SIGFPE (see kill(1)) it will toggle the
     debugging on or off.

     This program will typically be started by cron(8).

     uupoll is used to force a poll of a remote system. It queues
     a null job for the remote system and invokes uucico. If the
     -g flag is specified, the null job will be queued with grade
     grade.  If -n is specified, the null job will be queued, but
     an immediate uucico will not be invoked.

FILES
     /usr/lib/uucp  directory with commands used by uucico
                    internally

     /usr/spoool/uucp
                    spool directory
