/usr/lib/uucp/uucico [ -r1 -s system ] [ -x debug ] [ -d
spool_directory ]
/usr/lib/uucp/uusched [ -x debug ] [ -u debug ]
/usr/lib/uucp/kick system
/usr/lib/uucp/debug system
/usr/lib/uucp/uuxqt [ -s system ] [ -x debug ]
DESCRIPTION
Uucico transfers files between systems for uucp(1). It is
normally invoked by login for an incoming connection (a
slave), or by uusched to call out to another system (a mas-
ter). The options are
-r1 This is a master; option -s is required. In the
absence of -r1 the process is a slave and expects
to speak to a master on standard input and stan-
dard output.
-s system Call the named system.
-x debug Turn on debugging output; debug is a single digit,
larger for more output.
Uusched invokes uucico for each system with work pending.
It is called by uucp and uux(1) after work is queued, and
should be invoked regularly by cron(8). The options are
-x debug As for uucico.
-u debug Invoke uucico with option -x debug.
Kick invokes uucico in the background to call out to the
specified system. Debug causes a call with a moderate amount
of debugging output (-x4). Both attempt to remove existing
system status information for system, so that a call will be
attempted regardless of recent failures.
Uuxqt executes commands requested remotely by uux(1). It
searches the uucp spool directories looking for filenames
starting with X., checks the Permissions file to see that
all required data files are available and accessible and

that the requested command is permitted for the requesting
system, and invokes the command if all is well.
Before a command is invoked, the file creation mask
(umask(2)) is set to 0 and these environment variables are
set:
UU_MACHINE the name of the last sending machine
UU_USER the user that sent the job
PATH set to `/bin:/usr/bin'
USER set to `uucp'
