46: .SH DESCRIPTION
47: .I Uucico
48: transfers files between systems
49: for
50: .IR uucp (1).
51: It is normally invoked by
52: .I login
53: for
54: an incoming connection
55: (a slave),
56: or by
57: .IR uusched
58: to call out to another system
59: (a master).
60: The options are
61: .TP \w'\f5-s\ \fIsystem\ 'u
62: .B -r1
63: This is a master;
64: option
65: .B -s
66: is required.
67: In the absence of
68: .B -r1
69: the process is a slave and expects to speak to a master on
70: standard input and standard output.
71: .TP \w'\f5-s\ \fIsystem\ 'u
72: .BI -s " system
73: Call the named
74: .I system.
75: .TP
76: .BI -x " debug
77: Turn on debugging output;
78: .I debug
79: is a single digit, larger for more output.
80: .ig
81: .PP
82: For example,
83: the shell
84: .I Uutry
85: starts
86: .I uucico
87: with debugging turned on.
88: ..
89: .PP
90: .I Uusched
91: invokes
92: .I uucico
93: for each system
94: with work pending.
95: It is called by
96: .IR uucp
97: and
98: .IR uux (1)
99: after work is queued,
100: and should be invoked regularly by
101: .IR cron (8).
102: The options are
103: .TP \w'\f5-s\ \fIsystem\ 'u
104: .BI -x " debug
105: As for
106: .I uucico.
107: .TP
108: .BI -u " debug
109: Invoke
110: .I uucico
111: with option
112: .B -x
113: .I debug.
114: .PP
115: .I Kick
116: invokes
117: .I uucico
118: in the background
119: to call out to the specified
120: .IR system .
121: .I Debug
122: causes a call with
123: a moderate amount
124: of debugging output
125: .RB ( -x4 ).
126: Both attempt to remove
127: existing system status information
128: for
129: .IR system ,
130: so that a call will be attempted
131: regardless of recent failures.
132: .PP
133: .I Uuxqt
134: executes commands requested remotely by
135: .IR uux (1).
136: It searches the
137: .I uucp
138: spool directories looking for
139: filenames starting with
140: .BR X. ,
141: checks the
142: .I Permissions
143: file to see that all required data files are available
144: and accessible
145: and that the requested command is permitted for the
146: requesting system,
147: and invokes the command if all is well.
148: .PP
149: Before a command is invoked,
150: the file creation mask
151: .RI ( umask (2))
152: is set to 0 and these
153: environment variables are set:
154: .TF UU_MACHINE
155: .TP
156: .B UU_MACHINE
157: the name of the last sending machine
158: .TP
159: .B UU_USER
160: the user that sent the job
161: .TP
