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 --user option with the
appropriate argument.
If any of the -a, --all, -e, --executions, -s, --system,
-S, --not-system, -u, --user, -U, --not-user, -c, --com-
mand, -C, --not-command, -o, --older-than, -y, --younger-
than options are given, then all jobs which match the com-
bined specifications are displayed.
The -K or --kill-all option may be used to kill off a
selected group of jobs, such as all jobs more than 7 days
old.

OPTIONS
The following options may be given to uustat.
-a, --all
List all queued file transfer requests.
-e, --executions
List queued execution requests rather than queued
file transfer requests. Queued execution requests
are processed by uuxqt (8) rather than uucico (8).
Queued execution requests may be waiting for some
file to be transferred from a remote system. They
are created by an invocation of uux (1).
-s system, --system system
List all jobs queued up for the named system. These
options may be specified multiple times, in which
case all jobs for all the systems will be listed. If
used with --list only the systems named will be
listed.
-S system, --not-system system
List all jobs queued for systems other than the one
named. These options may be specified multiple
times, in which case no jobs from any of the speci-
fied systems will be listed. If used with --list
only the systems not named will be listed. These
options may not be used with -s or --system.
-u user, --user user
List all jobs queued up for the named user. These
options may be specified multiple times, in which
case all jobs for all the users will be listed.
-U user, --not-user user
List all jobs queued up for users other than the one
named. These options may be specified multiple
times, in which case no jobs from any of the speci-
fied users will be listed. These options may not be
used with -u or --user.
-c command, --command command
List all jobs requesting the execution of the named
command. If command is ALL this will list all jobs
requesting the execution of some command (as opposed
to simply requesting a file transfer). These options
may be specified multiple times, in which case all
jobs requesting any of the commands will be listed.
-C command, --not-command command
List all jobs requesting execution of some command
other than the named command, or, if command is ALL,
list all jobs that simply request a file transfer (as
opposed to requesting the execution of some command).
Taylor UUCP 1.06 2
uustat(1) uustat(1)
These options may be specified multiple times, in
which case no job requesting one of the specified
commands will be listed. These options may not be
used with -c or --command.
-o hours, --older-than hours
List all queued jobs older than the given number of
hours. If used with --list only systems whose oldest
job is older than the given number of hours will be
listed.
-y hours, --younger-than hours
List all queued jobs younger than the given number of
hours. If used with --list only systems whose oldest
job is younger than the given number of hours will be
listed.
-k jobid, --kill jobid
Kill the named job. The job id is shown by the
default output format, as well as by the -j or
--jobid option to uucp (1) or uux (1). A job may
only be killed by the user who created the job, or by
the UUCP administrator or the superuser. The -k or
--kill options may be used multiple times on the com-
mand line to kill several jobs.
-r jobid, --rejuvenate jobid
Rejuvenate the named job. This will mark it as hav-
ing been invoked at the current time, affecting the
output of the -o, --older-than, -y, or --younger-than
options and preserving it from any automated cleanup
daemon. The job id is shown by the default output
format, as well as by the -j or --jobid options 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 or --rejuve-
nate options may be used multiple times on the com-
mand line to rejuvenate several jobs.
-q, --list
Display the status of commands, executions and con-
versations for all remote systems for which commands
or executions are queued. The -s, --system, -S,
--not-system, -o, --older-than, -y, and --younger-
than options may be used to restrict the systems
which are listed. Systems for which no commands or
executions are queued will never be listed.
-m, --status
Display the status of conversations for all remote
systems.
-p, --ps
Display the status of all processes holding UUCP
Taylor UUCP 1.06 3
uustat(1) uustat(1)
locks on systems or ports.
-i, --prompt
For each listed job, prompt whether to kill the job
or not. If the first character of the input line is
y or Y the job will be killed.
-K, --kill-all
Automatically kill each listed job. This can be use-
ful for automatic cleanup scripts, in conjunction
with the --mail and --notify options.
-R, --rejuvenate-all
Automatically rejuvenate each listed job. This may
not be used with --kill-all.
-M, --mail
For each listed job, send mail to the UUCP adminis-
trator. If the job is killed (due to --kill-all or
--prompt with an affirmative response) the mail will
indicate that. A comment specified by the --comment
option may be included. If the job is an execution,
the initial portion of its standard input will be
included in the mail message; the number of lines to
include may be set with the --mail-lines option (the
default is 100). If the standard input contains null
characters, it is assumed to be a binary file and is
not included.
-N, --notify
For each listed job, send mail to the user who
requested the job. The mail is identical to that
sent by the -M or --mail options.
-W comment, --comment comment
Specify a comment to be included in mail sent with
the -M, --mail, -N, or --notify options.
-B lines, --mail-lines lines
When the -M, --mail, -N, or --notify options are used
to send mail about an execution with standard input,
this option controls the number of lines of standard
input to include in the message. The default is 100.
-Q, --no-list
Do not actually list the job, but only take any
actions indicated by the -i, --prompt, -K, --kill-
all, -M, --mail, -N or --notify options.
-x type, --debug 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
Taylor UUCP 1.06 4
uustat(1) uustat(1)
and execute are meaningful for uustat.
Multiple types may be given, separated by commas, and
the --debug option may appear multiple times. A num-
ber may also be given, which will turn on that many
types from the foregoing list; for example, --debug 2
is equivalent to --debug abnormal,chat.
-I file, --config file
Set configuration file to use. This option may not
be available, depending upon how uustat was compiled.
-v, --version
Report version information and exit.
--help
Print a help message and exit.
EXAMPLES
uustat --all
Display status of all jobs. A sample output line is as
follows:
bugsA027h bugs ian 04-01 13:50 Executing rmail ian@airs.com (sending 1283 bytes)
The format is
jobid system user queue-date command (size)
The jobid may be passed to the --kill or --rejuvenate
options. The size indicates how much data is to be trans-
ferred to the remote system, and is absent for a file
receive request. The --system, --not-system, --user,
--not-user, --command, --not-command, --older-than, and
--younger-than options may be used to control which jobs
are listed.
uustat --executions
Display status of queued up execution requests. A sample
output line is as follows:
bugs bugs!ian 05-20 12:51 rmail ian
The format is
system requestor queue-date command
The --system, --not-system, --user, --not-user, --command,
--not-command, --older-than, and --younger-than options
may be used to control which requests are listed.
uustat --list
Display status for all systems with queued up commands. A
sample output line is as follows:
bugs 4C (1 hour) 0X (0 secs) 04-01 14:45 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 --status
Taylor UUCP 1.06 5
uustat(1) uustat(1)
Display conversation status for all remote systems. A
sample output line is as follows:
bugs 04-01 15:51 Conversation complete
This indicates the system, the date of the last conversa-
tion, 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, uus-
tat also displays the time when the next call will be per-
mitted.
uustat --ps
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.
uustat --command rmail --older-than 168 --kill-all --no-list --mail --notify --comment "Queued for over 1 week"
This will kill all rmail commands that have been queued up
waiting for delivery for over 1 week (168 hours). For
each such command, mail will be sent both to the UUCP
administrator and to the user who requested the rmail exe-
cution. The mail message sent will include the string
given by the --comment option. The --no-list option pre-
vents any of the jobs from being listed on the terminal,
so any output from the program will be error messages.
FILES
The file names may be changed at compilation time or by
the configuration file, so these are only approximations.
/etc/uucp/config - Configuration file.
/var/spool/uucp - UUCP spool directory.
