     UUCLEANUP(8)                                         UUCLEANUP(8)

     NAME
          uucleanup - uucp spool directory clean-up

     SYNOPSIS
          /usr/lib/uucp/uucleanup [ options ]

     DESCRIPTION
          Uucleanup removes old files from the uucp spool directories.
          It is controlled by a number of options:

          -Cdays  Remove B C.  files that are at least days old, and
                  send a message to the user who queued the job.

          -Ddays  Remove D. files that are at least days old.  If the
                  data file appears to contain a mail message, an
                  attempt will be made to deliver it; if it contains a
                  netnews article from another system, it will be
                  handed to rnews.

          -Wdays  Send a warning to the user who queued any jobs (C.
                  files) at least days old.  If one of the data files
                  for the job appears to be a mail message, the mes-
                  sage is included in the warning.

          -Xdays  Remove any X. files at least days old.

          -mstring
                  Include string in warning messages.  The default is
                  ``See your local administrator to locate the prob-
                  lem.''

          -odays  Remove any other files that are at least days old.

          -ssystem
                  Examine only files associated with system.

          By default, C. files generate a warning when one day old,
          and are removed after 7 days; D. files are removed after 7
          days; and X. and other files are removed after 2 days.

          This program is typically called by the shell
          uudemon.cleanup, which should be started regularly by
          cron(8).
