uucico --
file transport program for the UUCP system
Synopsis
/usr/lib/uucp/uucico [options]
Description
The uucico command
is the file transport program for
uucp(1bnu)
work file transfers.
Options
The uucico command takes the following options:
-ctype
The first field in the
Devices(4bnu)
file is the ``Type'' field.
The -c
option forces uucico to only use entries in the ``Type'' field that match the
user specified type.
The specified type is usually the name of a local area network.
-dspool_directory
This option specifies the directory spool_directory that contains the
uucp work files to be transferred.
The default spool directory is /var/spool/uucp.
-f
Force execution of uucico.
This option can be used to force a connection to a remote
system even if no work files are to be transferred.
The limit on the maximum number of uucico
processes defined in
Limits(4bnu)
is ignored.
-iinterface
This option currently has no effect.
-rrole_number
A role_number of 1 is used for master mode.
A role_number of 0 is used for slave mode (default).
When uucico is started by a program or
cron(1M),
a role_number of 1 should be used for master mode.
-ssystem_name
The -s option defines the remote system (system_name) that
uucico will try to contact.
It is required when the role is master;
system_name must be defined in the
Systems(4bnu)
file.
-uuser
In slave mode, sets the login name to be looked up in the
Permissions(4bnu)
file instead of that of the invoking user.
-xdebug_level
Both
uux(1bnu)
and
uucp(1bnu)
queue jobs that will be transferred by
uucico.
These jobs are normally started by the
uusched(1Mbnu)
scheduler, for debugging purposes, and can be started manually.
For example, the shell Uutry starts uucico with debugging turned on.
The debug_level is a number between 0 and 9.
Higher numbers give more
detailed debugging information.
