          UUSTAT(1C)           INTERACTIVE UNIX System           UUSTAT(1C)



          NAME
               uustat - uucp status inquiry and job control

          SYNOPSIS
               uustat [-a]
               uustat [-m]
               uustat [-p]
               uustat [-q]
               uustat [ -kjobid ]
               uustat [ -rjobid ]
               uustat [ -s system ] [ -uuser ]

          DESCRIPTION
               The uustat command will display the status of, or cancel,
               previously specified uucp commands, or provide general
               status on uucp connections to other systems.  Only one of
               the following options can be specified with uustat per com-
               mand execution:

               -a        Output all jobs in queue.

               -m        Report the status of accessibility of all
                         machines.

               -p        Execute a ``ps -flp'' for all the process-ids that
                         are in the lock files.

               -q        List the jobs queued for each machine.  If a
                         status file exists for the machine, its date, time
                         and status information are reported.  In addition,
                         if a number appears in () next to the number of C
                         or X files, it is the age in days of the oldest
                         C./X. file for that system.  The Retry field
                         represents the number of hours until the next pos-
                         sible call.  The Count is the number of failure
                         attempts.  NOTE:  For systems with a moderate
                         number of outstanding jobs, this could take 30
                         seconds or more of real-time to execute.  As an
                         example of the output produced by the -q option:
                      eagle    3C   04/07-11:07   NO DEVICES AVAILABLE
                      mh3bs3   2C   07/07-10:42   SUCCESSFUL
                      The above output tells how many command files are
                      waiting for each system.  Each command file may have
                      zero or more files to be sent (zero means to call the
                      system and see if work is to be done).  The date and
                      time refer to the previous interaction with the sys-
                      tem followed by the status of the interaction.

               -kjobid   Kill the uucp request whose job identification is
                         jobid.  The killed uucp request must belong to the
                         person issuing the uustat command unless one is
                         the super-user.

               -rjobid   Rejuvenate jobid.  The files associated with jobid
                         are touched so that their modification time is set
                         to the current time.  This prevents the cleanup
                         daemon from deleting the job until the jobs modif-
                         ication time reaches the limit imposed by the dae-
                         mon.

               Either or both of the following options can be specified
               with uustat:

               -ssys     Report the status of all uucp requests for remote
                         system sys.

               -uuser    Report the status of all uucp requests issued by
                         user.

               Output for both the -s and -u options has the following for-
               mat:

               eaglen0000   4/07-11:01:03   (POLL)
               eagleN1bd7   4/07-11:07      Seagledan522 /usr/dan/A
               eagleC1bd8   4/07-11:07      Seagledan59 D.3b2al2ce4924
                            4/07-11:07      Seagledanrmail mike

               With the above two options, the first field is the jobid of
               the job.  This is followed by the date/time.  The next field
               is either an 'S' or 'R' depending on whether the job is to
               send or request a file.  This is followed by the user-id of
               the user who queued the job.  The next field contains the
               size of the file, or in the case of a remote execution
               (rmail - the command used for remote mail), the name of the
               command.  When the size appears in this field, the file name
               is also given.  This can either be the name given by the
               user or an internal name (e.g., D.3b2alce4924) that is
               created for data files associated with remote executions
               (rmail in this example).

               When no options are given, uustat outputs the status of all
               uucp requests issued by the current user.

          FILES
               /usr/spool/uucp/*   spool directories
