UUCP spool directory cleanup
Synopsis
/usr/lib/uucp/uucleanup [options]
Description
The uucleanup command scans the spool directories for old files
and takes appropriate action to remove them in a useful way.
Options
The following options are available:
-C days-
Any C. files greater than or equal to days days old will be
removed with appropriate information to the requester.
The default is 7 days.
-D days-
Any D. files greater than or equal to days days old will be
removed.
An attempt will be made to deliver mail messages and
execute rnews when appropriate.
The default is 7 days.
-W days-
Any C. files equal to days days old will
cause a mail message to be sent to the requester warning about
the delay in contacting the remote.
The message includes the job ID, and in the case of mail,
the mail message.
The administrator may include a message line telling whom to
call to check the problem (-m option).
The default is 1 day.
-X days-
Any X. files greater than or equal to days days old will be
removed.
The D. files are probably not present (if they were, the X. files could get
executed).
But if there are D. files, they will be taken care of by D. processing.
The default is 2 days.
-d-
Removes empty directories under the PUBDIR directory
only if they are owned by uucp (UID=5).
-m string-
Include string in the warning message generated by the -W option.
string may contain supplementary code set characters.
-o days-
Other files whose age is more than days days will be deleted.
The default is 2 days.
The default line is:
See your local administrator to locate the problem
-s system-
Execute for system spool directory only.
-x debug_level-
debug_level is a single digit between 0 and 9;
higher numbers give more detailed debugging information.
Files
/usr/lib/uucp-
directory with commands used by uucleanup internally
/var/spool/uucp-
spool directory
Usage
uucleanup is typically started by the shell uudemon.cleanup,
which should be started by
cron(1M).
uucleanup performs the following actions:
-
inform the requester of send/receive requests for
systems that cannot be reached
-
return undeliverable mail to the sender
-
deliver rnews files addressed to the local system
-
remove the log files and directories in /var/spool/.Log/uuxbf
-
remove all other files
In addition, uucleanup notifies users of requests that
have been waiting for a given number of days (the default is 1).
Note that uucleanup will process as if all option
times were specified to the default values unless times are specifically set.
uucleanup does not remove the /var/spool/uucppublic/receive directory.
uucleanup processes supplementary code set characters
in the string given to the -m option
according to the locale specified in the LC_CTYPE
environment variable (see LANG on
environ(5)).
