NAME
uustat - UUCP status inquiry and control
SYNOPSIS
uustat -a
uustat [ -s system ] [ -u user ] [ -o hours ] [ -y hours ]
uustat [ -k jobid ] [ -r jobid ]
uustat -q
uustat -m
uustat -p
DESCRIPTION
The uustat command can display various types of status
information about the UUCP system. It can also be used to
cancel or rejuvenate requests made by uucp (1) or uux (1).
By default uustat displays all jobs queued up for the
invoking user, as if given the -u option with the appro-
priate argument.
OPTIONS
The following options may be given to uustat.
-a List all queued jobs.
-s system
List all jobs queued up for the named system. This
option may be specified multiple times, in which case
all jobs for all the systems will be listed. The -u,
-o, and -y options may be used to restrict which jobs
are listed.
-u user
List all jobs queued up for the named user. This
option may be specified multiple times, in which case
all jobs for all the users will be listed. The -s,
-o, and -y options may be used to restrict which jobs
are listed.
-o hours
List all queued jobs older than the given number of
hours. The -s, -u, and -y options may be used to
further restrict which jobs are listed.
-y hours
List all queued jobs younger than the given number of
hours. The -s, -u, and -o options may be used to
further restrict which jobs are listed.

-k jobid
Kill the named job. The job id is shown by the -s,
-u, -o, or -y options, as well as by the -j option to
uucp (1) or uux (1). A job may only be killed by the
user who created the job, or by the UUCP administra-
tor or the superuser. The -k option may be used mul-
tiple times on the command line to kill several jobs.
-r jobid
Rejuvenate the named job. This will mark it as hav-
ing been invoked at the current time, affecting the
output of the -o or -y options and preserving it from
any automated cleanup daemon. The job id is shown by
the -s, -u, -o, or -y options, as well as by the -j
option to uucp (1) or uux (1). A job may only be
rejuvenated by the user who created the job, or by
the UUCP administrator or the superuser. The -r
option may be used multiple times on the command line
to rejuvenate several jobs.
-q Display the status of commands, executions and con-
versations for all remote systems for which commands
or executions are queued.
-m Display the status of conversations for all remote
systems.
-p Display the status of all processes holding UUCP
locks on systems or ports.
-x type
Turn on particular debugging types. The following
types are recognized: abnormal, chat, handshake,
uucp-proto, proto, port, config, spooldir, execute,
incoming, outgoing. Only abnormal, config, spooldir
and execute are meaningful for uustat.
Multiple types may be given, separated by commas, and
the -x option may appear multiple times. A number
may also be given, which will turn on that many types
from the foregoing list; for example, -x 2 is equiva-
lent to -x abnormal,chat.
-I file
Set configuration file to use. This option may not
be available, depending upon how uustat was compiled.
EXAMPLES
uustat -a Display status of all jobs. A sample output
line is as follows: bugsA027h bugs ian 1992-04-01 13:50:04
Executing rmail ian@airs.com (sending 1283 bytes) The for-
mat is jobid system user queue-date command (size) The
jobid may be passed to the -k or -r options. The size
indicates how much data is to be transferred to the remote

system, and is absent for a file receive request.
The -s, -u, -o, and -y options also produce output in the
above format.
uustat -q Display status for all systems with queued up
commands. A sample output line is as follows: bugs 4C (1
hour) 0X (0 secs) 1992-04-01 14:45:47 Dial failed This
indicates the system, the number of queued commands, the
age of the oldest queued command, the number of queued
local executions, the age of the oldest queued execution,
the date of the last conversation, and the status of that
conversation.
uustat -m Display conversation status for all remote sys-
tems. A sample output line is as follows: bugs 1992-04-01
15:51:30 Conversation complete This indicates the system,
the date of the last conversation, and the status of that
conversation. If the last conversation failed, uustat
will indicate how many attempts have been made to call the
system. If the retry period is currently preventing calls
to that system, uustat also displays the time when the
next call will be permitted.
uustat -p Display the status of all processes holding UUCP
locks. The output format is system dependent, as uustat
simply invokes ps (1) on each process holding a lock.
FILES
The file names may be changed at compilation time or by
the configuration file, so these are only approximations.
/usr/lib/uucp/config - Configuration file.
/usr/spool/uucp - UUCP spool directory.
