UUCLEANUP(8) Maintenance Commands and Procedures UUCLEANUP(8)

NAME

uucleanup - uucp spool directory clean-up

SYNOPSIS

/usr/lib/uucp/uucleanup [-Ctime] [-Dtime] [-mstring]
[-otime] [-ssystem] [-Wtime] [-xdebug-level] [-Xtime]

DESCRIPTION

uucleanup will scan the spool directories for old files and take
appropriate action to remove them in a useful way:

o Inform the requester of send/receive requests for systems
that can not be reached.

o Return undeliverable mail to the sender.

o Deliver rnews files addressed to the local system.

o Remove all other files.


In addition, there is a provision to warn users of requests that have
been waiting for a given number of days (default 1 day). Note:
uucleanup will process as if all option times were specified to the
default values unless time is specifically set.


This program is typically started by the shell uudemon.cleanup, which
should be started by cron(8).

OPTIONS

-Ctime
Remove any C. files greater or equal to time days
old and send appropriate information to the
requester (default 7 days).


-Dtime
Remove any D. files greater or equal to time days
old, make an attempt to deliver mail messages, and
execute rnews when appropriate (default 7 days).


-mstring
Include string in the warning message generated by
the -W option. The default line is "See your local
administrator to locate the problem".


-otime
Delete other files whose age is more than time days
(default 2 days).


-ssystem
Execute for system spool directory only.


-Wtime
Any C. files equal to time 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 JOBID, 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) (default 1 day).


-xdebug-level
Produce debugging output on standard output. debug-
level is a single digit between 0 and 9; higher
numbers give more detailed debugging information.
(This option may not be available on all systems.)


-Xtime
Any X. files greater or equal to time days old will
be removed. The D. files are probably not present
(if they were, the X. could get executed). But if
there are D. files, they will be taken care of by D.
processing (default 2 days).
