NAME
uucompact, uumkspool, uurespool − uucp administrative utilities
SYNTAX
uucompact -ssystem
uumkspool system(s)
uurespool [ -t# ]
DESCRIPTION
All three of these commands are located in /usr/lib/uucp.
uucompact
The uucompact command compacts uucp system spool directories and associated subdirectories. If system is ALL, then all existing uucp system spool directories are compacted. Otherwise, only the specified system spool directory is compacted. If no system is specified, /usr/spool/uucp/sys is compacted. If uucompact is stopped before it is finished, it can be restarted without reprocessing directories. The uucompact command continues processing where it left off during it’s previous instantiation.
uumkspool.
For each of the specified systems uumkspool makes a per system spool directory and associated subdirectories. For example, if system is mk3 and if the local system name is penny, the following directories are created:
/usr/spool/uucp/sys/mk3
/usr/spool/uucp/sys/mk3/C.
/usr/spool/uucp/sys/mk3/X.
/usr/spool/uucp/sys/mk3/D.
/usr/spool/uucp/sys/mk3/D.penny
/usr/spool/uucp/sys/mk3/D.penny
uurespool
The uurespool command moves files from old spool directories to new spool directories. There are at least two instances where one will want to move spool files to a new spool directory.
Installing the current version of
uucp. Because the structure of the spool directories has changed from older versions of uucp, it is necessary to respool old spooled files to new spool directories.
Creating a new per system spool directory.
In this case, it is necessary to move files from
/usr/spool/uucp/sys/DEFAULT to the new spool directories. To ease this task, uurespool moves files that have been spooled in one of 4 formats and respools them under the new spooling structure. The format is specified by the -t# option. # can be one of the following:
1original - all files are in /usr/spool/uucp
2split spool - contains the following subdirectories: C., X., D., D.local, D.localX
3modified split spool - contains all subdirectories listed in 2) plus: STST., TM., C./OTHERS
4used when a new system directory has been created and spool files must be moved from the DEFAULT directory to the new system directory.
