UUX(1N)                 COMMAND REFERENCE                 UUX(1N)



NAME
     uux - UTek to UTek command execution

SYNOPSIS
     uux [ - ] command-string

DESCRIPTION
     Uux will gather zero or more files from various systems,
     execute a command on a specified system and send standard
     output to a file on a specified system.

     The command-string is made up of one or more arguments that
     look like a shell command line, except that the command and
     filenames may be prefixed by system-name!.  A null system-
     name is interpreted as the local system.

     Filenames may be one of:

          (1)
             A full pathname;

          (2)
             A pathname preceded by ~xxx where xxx is a user ID
             on the specified system and is replaced by that
             user's login directory;

          (3)
             Anything else is prefixed by the current directory.

     Any special shell characters such as <, >, ; , and | should
     be quoted either by quoting the entire command-string, or
     quoting the special characters as individual arguments.

OPTIONS
     -  This option will cause the standard input to the uux
        command to be the standard input to the command-string.

EXAMPLES
     The command:

          uux "!diff usg!/usr/dan/f1 pwba!/a4/dan/f1 > !fi.diff"

     will get the f1 files from the usg and pwba machines,
     execute a diff command, and put the results in the file
     f1.diff in the local directory.

          WARNING:
                  An installation may, and for security reasons
                  generally will, limit the list of commands
                  executable on behalf of an incoming request
                  from uux.  Typically, a restricted site will
                  permit little other than the receipt of mail

UUX(1N)                 COMMAND REFERENCE                 UUX(1N)



                  via uux.

FILES
     /usr/spool/uucp
                  Spool directory

     /usr/lib/uucp/*
                  Other data and programs

RETURN VALUE
     [0]              No errors.

     [nonzero]        Errors occurred.

CAVEATS
     Only the first command of a shell pipeline may have a
     system-name!.  All other commands are executed on the system
     of the first command.

     The use of the shell metacharacter * will probably not do
     what you want it to do.

     The shell tokens << and >> are not implemented.

     There is no notification of denial of execution on the
     remote machine.
