Remarks
The
uucp
commands, including
uucico,
are targeted for removal from HP-UX;
see the
WARNINGS
section below.
DESCRIPTION
uucico
scans the
/var/spool/uucp
directories for work files.
If such files exist, a connection to a remote system is attempted
using the line protocol for the remote system specified in file
/etc/uucp/Systems.
uucico
then executes all requests for work and logs the results.
Options
uucico
recognizes the following options:
- -r1
Start
uucico
in the
MASTER
mode.
The default is
SLAVE
mode.
- -s system
Do work only for the system specified by
system.
If there is no work for
system
on the local spool directory, initiate a connection to
system
to determine if
system
has work for the local system.
This option must be used if
-r1
is specified.
- -d spool_directory
Search directory
spool_directory
instead of the default spool directories (usually
/var/spool/uucp/*).
- -x debug_level
Use debugging option.
debug_level
is an integer in the range 1 through 9.
More debugging information is given for larger values of
debug_level.
uucico
is usually started by a local program such as
cron,
uucp,
or
uuxqt
(see
cron(1M),
uucp(1),
and
uuxqt(1M)).
Only when debugging should a user initiate
uucico
directly.
When started by a local program,
uucico
is considered the
MASTER
and attempts a connection to a remote system.
If
uucico
is started by a remote system, it is considered to be in
SLAVE
mode.
For the
uucico
connection to a remote system to be successful,
there must be an entry in the
/etc/passwd
file on the remote system of the form:
uucp::5:5::/var/spool/uucppublic:/usr/lbin/uucp/uucico
WARNINGS
Use of
uucp
commands, including
uucico,
is discouraged because
they are targeted for removal from HP-UX.
Use
ftp(1)
or
rcp(1)
instead.
