DESCRIPTION
The uustat command can display various
types of status information about the UUCP system. It can also be
used to cancel or rejuvenate requests made by uucp (1) or
uux (1).
By default uustat displays all jobs queued up for the
invoking user, as if given the --user option with the
appropriate argument.
If any of the -a, --all, -e,
--executions, -s, --system, -S,
--not-system, -u, --user, -U,
--not-user, -c, --command, -C,
--not-command, -o, --older-than, -y,
--younger-than options are given, then all jobs which match
the combined specifications are displayed.
The -K or --kill-all option may be used to kill
off a selected group of jobs, such as all jobs more than 7 days
old.
OPTIONS
The following options may be given to
uustat.
- -a, --all
- List all queued file transfer requests.
- -e, --executions
- List queued execution requests rather than queued file transfer
requests. Queued execution requests are processed by uuxqt
(8) rather than uucico (8). Queued execution requests may be
waiting for some file to be transferred from a remote system. They
are created by an invocation of uux (1).
- -s system, --system system
- List all jobs queued up for the named system. These options may
be specified multiple times, in which case all jobs for all the
systems will be listed. If used with --list only the systems
named will be listed.
- -S system, --not-system system
- List all jobs queued for systems other than the one named.
These options may be specified multiple times, in which case no
jobs from any of the specified systems will be listed. If used with
--list only the systems not named will be listed. These
options may not be used with -s or --system.
- -u user, --user user
- List all jobs queued up for the named user. These options may
be specified multiple times, in which case all jobs for all the
users will be listed.
- -U user, --not-user user
- List all jobs queued up for users other than the one named.
These options may be specified multiple times, in which case no
jobs from any of the specified users will be listed. These options
may not be used with -u or --user.
- -c command, --command command
- List all jobs requesting the execution of the named command. If
command is ALL this will list all jobs requesting the
execution of some command (as opposed to simply requesting a file
transfer). These options may be specified multiple times, in which
case all jobs requesting any of the commands will be listed.
- -C command, --not-command command
- List all jobs requesting execution of some command other than
the named command, or, if command is ALL, list all
jobs that simply request a file transfer (as opposed to requesting
the execution of some command). These options may be specified
multiple times, in which case no job requesting one of the
specified commands will be listed. These options may not be used
with -c or --command.
- -o hours, --older-than hours
- List all queued jobs older than the given number of hours. If
used with --list only systems whose oldest job is older than
the given number of hours will be listed.
- -y hours, --younger-than hours
- List all queued jobs younger than the given number of hours. If
used with --list only systems whose oldest job is younger
than the given number of hours will be listed.
- -k jobid, --kill jobid
- Kill the named job. The job id is shown by the default output
format, as well as by the -j or --jobid option to
uucp (1) or uux (1). A job may only be killed by the
user who created the job, or by the UUCP administrator or the
superuser. The -k or --kill options may be used
multiple times on the command line to kill several jobs.
- -r jobid, --rejuvenate jobid
- Rejuvenate the named job. This will mark it as having been
invoked at the current time, affecting the output of the -o,
--older-than, -y, or --younger-than options
and preserving it from any automated cleanup daemon. The job id is
shown by the default output format, as well as by the -j or
--jobid options to uucp (1) or uux (1). A job
may only be rejuvenated by the user who created the job, or by the
UUCP administrator or the superuser. The -r or
--rejuvenate options may be used multiple times on the
command line to rejuvenate several jobs.
- -q, --list
- Display the status of commands, executions and conversations
for all remote systems for which commands or executions are queued.
The -s, --system, -S, --not-system,
-o, --older-than, -y, and
--younger-than options may be used to restrict the systems
which are listed. Systems for which no commands or executions are
queued will never be listed.
- -m, --status
- Display the status of conversations for all remote systems.
- -p, --ps
- Display the status of all processes holding UUCP locks on
systems or ports.
- -i, --prompt
- For each listed job, prompt whether to kill the job or not. If
the first character of the input line is y or Y the
job will be killed.
- -K, --kill-all
- Automatically kill each listed job. This can be useful for
automatic cleanup scripts, in conjunction with the --mail
and --notify options.
- -R, --rejuvenate-all
- Automatically rejuvenate each listed job. This may not be used
with --kill-all.
- -M, --mail
- For each listed job, send mail to the UUCP administrator. If
the job is killed (due to --kill-all or --prompt with
an affirmative response) the mail will indicate that. A comment
specified by the --comment option may be included. If the
job is an execution, the initial portion of its standard input will
be included in the mail message; the number of lines to include may
be set with the --mail-lines option (the default is 100). If
the standard input contains null characters, it is assumed to be a
binary file and is not included.
- -N, --notify
- For each listed job, send mail to the user who requested the
job. The mail is identical to that sent by the -M or
--mail options.
- -W comment, --comment comment
- Specify a comment to be included in mail sent with the
-M, --mail, -N, or --notify options.
- -B lines, --mail-lines lines
- When the -M, --mail, -N, or
--notify options are used to send mail about an execution
with standard input, this option controls the number of lines of
standard input to include in the message. The default is 100.
- -Q, --no-list
- Do not actually list the job, but only take any actions
indicated by the -i, --prompt, -K,
--kill-all, -M, --mail, -N or
--notify options.
- -x type, --debug type
- Turn on particular debugging types. The following types are
recognized: abnormal, chat, handshake, uucp-proto, proto, port,
config, spooldir, execute, incoming, outgoing. Only abnormal,
config, spooldir and execute are meaningful for uustat.
Multiple types may be given, separated by commas, and the
--debug option may appear multiple times. A number may also
be given, which will turn on that many types from the foregoing
list; for example, --debug 2 is equivalent to --debug
abnormal,chat.
- -I file, --config file
- Set configuration file to use. This option may not be
available, depending upon how uustat was compiled.
- -v, --version
- Report version information and exit.
- --help
- Print a help message and exit.
EXAMPLES
uustat --all
Display status of all jobs. A sample output line is as follows:
bugsA027h bugs ian 04-01 13:50 Executing rmail
The format is
jobid system user queue-date command (size)
The jobid may be passed to the --kill or --rejuvenate
options. The size indicates how much data is to be transferred to
the remote system, and is absent for a file receive request. The
--system, --not-system, --user,
--not-user, --command, --not-command,
--older-than, and --younger-than options may be used
to control which jobs are listed.
uustat --executions
Display status of queued up execution requests. A sample output
line is as follows:
bugs bugs!ian 05-20 12:51 rmail ian
The format is
system requestor queue-date command
The --system, --not-system, --user,
--not-user, --command, --not-command,
--older-than, and --younger-than options may be used
to control which requests are listed.
uustat --list
Display status for all systems with queued up commands. A sample
output line is as follows:
bugs 4C (1 hour) 0X (0 secs) 04-01 14:45 Dial failed
This indicates the system, the number of queued commands, the age
of the oldest queued command, the number of queued local
executions, the age of the oldest queued execution, the date of the
last conversation, and the status of that conversation.
uustat --status
Display conversation status for all remote systems. A sample output
line is as follows:
bugs 04-01 15:51 Conversation complete
This indicates the system, the date of the last conversation, and
the status of that conversation. If the last conversation failed,
uustat will indicate how many attempts have been made to
call the system. If the retry period is currently preventing calls
to that system, uustat also displays the time when the next
call will be permitted.
uustat --ps
Display the status of all processes holding UUCP locks. The output
format is system dependent, as uustat simply invokes
ps (1) on each process holding a lock.
uustat --command rmail --older-than 168 --kill-all --no-list --mail --notify --comment "Queued for over 1 week"
This will kill all rmail commands that have been queued up
waiting for delivery for over 1 week (168 hours). For each such
command, mail will be sent both to the UUCP administrator and to
the user who requested the rmail execution. The mail message sent
will include the string given by the --comment option. The
--no-list option prevents any of the jobs from being listed
on the terminal, so any output from the program will be error
messages.
