NAME


uucico - file transport program for the uucp system

SYNOPSIS


/usr/lib/uucp/uucico [-f] [-c type] [-d spool-directory]
[-i interface] [-r role-number] [-s system-name]
[-x debug-level]


DESCRIPTION


uucico is the file transport program for uucp work file transfers.

OPTIONS


The following options are supported:

-f
This option is used to "force execution" of
uucico by ignoring the limit on the maximum
number of uucicos defined in the
/etc/uucp/Limits file.


-c type
The first field in the Devices 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.


-d spool-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.


-i interface
This option defines the interface used with
uucico. The interface only affects slave mode.
Known interfaces are UNIX (default), TLI (basic
Transport Layer Interface), and TLIS (Transport
Layer Interface with Streams modules,
read/write).


-r role-number
The role-number 1 is used for master mode.
role-number 0 is used for slave mode (default).
When uucico is started by a program or cron,
role-number 1 should be used for master mode.


-s system-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 file.


-x debug-level
Both uux and uucp queue jobs that will be
transferred by uucico. These jobs are normally
started by the uusched 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.
