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.

uustat(1)                                               uustat(1)


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).

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

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

            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.
