uuxqt(1) — Commands
NAME
uuxqt − Executes remote command requests
SYNOPSIS
uuxqt [-ssystem] [-xdebug_level]
The uuxqt program executes specified commands on designated remote systems.
FLAGS
-ssystemSpecifies the name of the remote system. Use this flag only when starting uuxqt manually. The remote system name is supplied internally when uuxqt is started automatically.
-xdebug_level
Displays debugging information on the screen of the local system; debug_level is a single digit between 0 and 9. The higher the number specified, the more detailed the debugging information displayed.
DESCRIPTION
When uux is entered by a user, the program creates the necessary C.∗ (Command), D.∗ (Data), and X.∗ (Execute) files and places them in the spooling directory on the designated remote system. The uux command then calls the uucico daemon which in turn, tries to contact the designated system to deliver the files. When the files are transferred, uuxqt executes the commands on the designated system.
The uuxqt program searches the spool directories on the designated system for the X.∗ (Execute) files whose names indicate that they were sent from another system. The command checks each X.∗ file for the following:
•All of the required D.∗ (Data) files must be available and accessible.
•File commands must be permitted for the requesting system.
The uuxqt program can be executed manually by a user with superuser privileges. This daemon is executed automatically by the uudemon.hour shell script, which is started periodically by cron.
