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.
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.
uustat --all
Display status of all jobs. A sample output line is as follows:
bugsA027h bugs ian 04-01 13:50 Executing rmail ian@airs.com (sending 1283 bytes)
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.
