NAME
uustat - uucp status inquiry and job control
SYNOPSIS
uustat [ option ]
uustat [ -ssystem ] [ -uuser ]
DESCRIPTION
Uustat will display the status of, or cancel, previously
specified uucp commands, or provide general status on uucp
connections to other systems. The options are
-a List the status of all pending uucp requests for all
machines.
-kjobid Kill the uucp request whose job identification is
jobid. The killed uucp request must belong to the
person issuing the uustat command unless one is the
super-user.
-m Report the status of accessibility of all machines.
-p Report on the status of all processes that are in
the lock files.
-q List the jobs queued for each machine. If a status
file exists for the machine, its date, time and sta-
tus information are reported. A parenthesized num-
ber next to the number of `C' or `X' files gives the
age in days of the oldest file for that system. The
retry field represents the number of hours until the
next possible call. The count field is the number
of failure attempts.
-rjobid Rejuvenate jobid. The files associated with jobid
are touched so that their modification time is set
to the current time. This prevents the cleanup
demon from deleting the job until its modification
time reaches the limit imposed by the demon.
-ssys Report the status of all uucp requests for remote
system sys.
-uuser Report the status of all uucp requests issued by
user.
When no options are given, uustat outputs the status of all
uucp requests issued by the current user.

Requests are listed in the form
jobid date type machine stuff
date type machine stuff ...
Jobid identifies the request; it is useful for -k and -r.
The remainder of the line describes a transfer queued at
date for machine. Type is S if a file is to be sent to
machine, R if it is to be received. Ordinary files are fol-
lowed by the requestor's userid, the length of the file in
bytes, and the name of the spooled file; requests for remote
execution are followed by the userid and the command. If
the request involves more than one file, the remaining files
are listed without a jobid.
The most common case is a mail request, which has two lines,
one for the mail message itself and one for the request to
execute rmail on the remote system.
