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 via uux.

FILES
     /usr/spool/uucp          Spool directory.

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



     /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.
