UUPOLL(1M-SysV)     RISC/os Reference Manual      UUPOLL(1M-SysV)



NAME
     uupoll - poll a remote UUCP site

SYNOPSIS
     uupoll system

DESCRIPTION
     Uupoll is used to force a poll of a remote system.  It
     invokes uucico(1M).

     Uupoll is usually run by cron(1M) or by a user who wants to
     hurry a job along.  Sites invoking uupoll via cron(1M) would
     need to create or modify the file
     /usr/spool/cron/crontabs/uucp to contain entries similar to
     the following example:

          0    0,8,16    *    *    *    /usr/bin/uupoll ihnp4
          0    4,12,20   *    *    *    /usr/bin/uupoll ucbvax
     This will poll ihnp4 at midnight, 0800, and 1600, and ucbvax
     at 0400, noon, and 2000.

FILES
     /usr/lib/uucp/     UUCP internal files/utilities
     /usr/spool/uucp/   Spool directory
