NAME
       uucleanup - uucp spool directory clean-up server

SYNOPSIS
       /usr/lib/uucp/uucleanup [ -Ctime ] [ -Wtime ] [ -Xtime ]
       [-mstring ] [ -otime ] [ -ssystem ]

DESCRIPTION
       Uucleanup scans the spool directories for old files and takes
       appropriate action to remove them in one of the following ways:

       ⊕      Inform the requester of send/receive requests for systems that
              can not be reached.

       ⊕      Return mail, which cannot be delivered, to the sender.

       ⊕      Delete or execute rnews for rnews type files (depending on
              where the news originated--locally or remotely).  rnews is a
              commonly used news reading program available in public domain
              software.

       ⊕      Remove all other files.

       In addition, there is provision to warn users of requests that have
       been waiting for a given number of days (default 1).  Note that
       uucleanup will process as if all option times were specified to the
       default values unless you specifically set time (see NOTES).

       The following options are available:

       -Ctime    Any C. files greater or equal to time days old will be
                 removed with appropriate information to the requester.
                 (default 7 days)

       -Dtime    Any D. files greater or equal to time days old will be
                 removed.  An attempt will be made to deliver mail messages
                 and execute rnews when appropriate.  (default 7 days)

       -Wtime    Any C. files equal to time days old will cause a mail
                 message to be sent to the requester warning about the delay
                 in contacting the remote.  The message includes the JOBID,
                 and in the case of mail, the mail message.  The
                 administrator may include a message line telling whom to
                 call to check the problem (-m option).  (default 1 day)

       -Xtime    Any X. files greater or equal to time days old will be
                 removed.  The D. files are probably not present (if they
                 were, the X. could get executed).  But if there are D.
                 files, they will be taken care of by D. processing.
                 (default 2 days)

       -mstring  This line will be included in the warning message generated
                 by the -W option.  The default line is "See your local
                 administrator to locate the problem".

uucleanup(1M)                  DG/UX 5.4R3.00                  uucleanup(1M)


       -otime    Other files whose age is more than time days will be
                 deleted.  (default 2 days)

       -ssystem  Execute for system spool directory only.


       -xdebug_level
              The -x debug level is a single digit between 0 and 9; higher
              numbers give more detailed debugging information.  (If you
              have a source license and do not want debugging, compile with
              the -DSMALL option.)

       This program is typically started by the shell uudemon.cleanup, which
       should be started by cron(1M).

FILES
       /etc/uucp, /usr/lib/uucp
                           directories with commands used by uucleanup
                           internally

       /usr/spool/uucp     spool directory

SEE ALSO
       cron(1M), uucp(1), uux(1).

NOTES
       The -C, -D, -W, -X, and -o options require a value greater than zero.
