NAME

uumonitor − monitor the UUCP system

SYNTAX

uumonitor

DESCRIPTION

The uumonitor command displays a synopsis in tabular format of the current UUCP status.  The format of each line is as follows:

system_name #C #X most_recent_status CNT:# time In the format of this line,

system_nameis the remote system for which the entry applies. 

#Cis the number of C.files queued for the remote system. 

#Xis the number of requests for remote execution from the remote system. 

most_recent_status
is the result of the most recent attempt to connect to the remote system.

CNT:#is the number of times that a failure to login to the remote system has occurred.  This does NOT include the number failed dial attempts. 

timeis the time of the last status entry was made for this system. 

The uumonitor command is helpful for detecting systems that have backlogs, that have gone away for awhile, that have changed phone numbers, and so forth. The CNT: field is useful for detecting a system whose login/passwd has changed. If the CNT: field gets larger than the maximum allowable failures (currently 20), no further attempts to connect to this system are made. If the number of C.files queued starts getting unusually large (depending on the system anywhere from 100-1000), action should be taken to determine the cause of the backlog.
