NAME
     uudemon.admin - mails current uucp work status to  the  uucp
     administrator

SYNOPSIS
     uudemon.admin

DESCRIPTION
     uudemon.admin is a shell script, intended to be run by cron,
     that runs uustat -p and uustat -q to look for active uucp
     processes and work files in the uucp queue. In addition,
     uudemon.admin examines the log files in the directory
     /usr/spool/uucp/.Log/uucico for the mention of the string
     passwd, which would be an indication that someone has tried
     to steal the /etc/passwd file. The results of these
     activities are mailed to the uucp administrator.

     To execute this script, you should place an entry in the
     /usr/spool/cron/crontabs/uucp file to call uudemon.admin one
     or more times per day. Here is an entry that runs
     uudemon.admin at 8:48 A.M., 12:48 P.M., and 4:48 P.M. every
     day:

        48 8,12,16 * * * /usr/lib/uucp/uudemon.admin > /dev/null 2>&1
