     UUSTAT(C)                            UNIX System V



     Name
          uustat - uucp status inquiry and job control


     Syntax
          uustat [-a]
          uustat [-m]
          uustat [-p]
          uustat [-q]
          uustat [ -kjobid ]
          uustat [ -rjobid ]
          uustat [ -ssystem ] [ -uuser ]


     Description
          uustat 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 command 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
                    possible 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  04/07-11:07NO DEVICES AVAILABLE
                    mh3bs3 2C  07/07-10:42SUCCESSFUL

                    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 system 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
                    modification time reaches the limit imposed by the
                    daemon.

          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
          format:

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