NAME

uucico - file transport program for the uucp system

SYNOPSIS

/usr/lib/uucp/uucico [options]

DESCRIPTION

uucico is the file transport program for uucp work file transfers. The following options are available.

-ctype The first field in the Devices  file  is  the  "Type"
       field.   The  -c  option  forces  uucico  to only use
       entries in the  "Type"  field  that  match  the  user
       specified  type.   The  specified type is usually the
       name of a local area network.

-dspool_directory

This option specifies the directory spool_directory that contains the uucp work files to be transferred. The default spool directory is /var/spool/uucp.

-f This option is used to "force execution" of uucico by ignoring the limit on the maximum number of uucicos defined in the /etc/uucp/Limits file.

-iinterface

This option defines the interface used with uucico. The interface only affects slave mode. Known interfaces are UNIX (default), TLI (basic Transport Layer Interface), and TLIS (Transport Layer Interface with Streams modules, read/write).

-rrole_number

The role_number 1 is used for master mode. role_number 0 is used for slave mode (default). When uucico is started by a program or cron, role_number 1 should be used for master mode.

-ssystem_name

The -s option defines the remote system (system_name) that uucico will try to contact. It is required when the role is master; system_name must be defined in the Systems file.

-Ssystem_name

Similar to -s except will override the time field in the Systems file. Must be root or uucp to use the -S option.

-xdebug_level

Both uux and uucp queue jobs that will be transferred by uucico. These jobs are normally started by the uusched scheduler, for debugging purposes, and can be started manually. For example, the shell Uutry starts uucico with debugging turned on. The debug_level is a number between 0 and 9. Higher numbers give more detailed debugging information.
