 NAME

uustat - uucp status inquiry and job control

 SYNOPSIS



uustat [ -q| -k jobid| -r jobid]

uustat [-s system][-u user]

 DESCRIPTION

The uustat utility displays the status of, or cancels, previously specified uucp requests, or provides general status on uucp connections to other systems.

When no options are given, uustat writes to standard output the status of all uucp requests issued by the current user.

Typical implementations of this utility require a communications line configured to use the XBD specification, General Terminal Interface  , but other communications means may be used. On systems where there are no available communications means (either temporarily or permanently), this utility will write an error message describing the problem and exit with a non-zero exit status.

 OPTIONS

The uustat utility supports the XBD specification, Utility Syntax Guidelines  . The following options are supported:

-q
Write the jobs queued for each machine.
-k jobid
Kill the uucp request whose job identification is jobid. The killed uucp request must belong to the person invoking uustat unless that user has appropriate privileges.
-r jobid
Rejuvenate jobid. The files associated with jobid are touched so that their modification time is set to the current time. This prevents the cleanup program from deleting the job until the jobs modification time reaches the limit imposed by the program.
-s system
Write the status of all uucp requests for remote system system.
-u user
Write the status of all uucp requests issued by user.

 OPERANDS

None.

 STDIN

Not used.

 INPUT FILES

None.

 ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

The following environment variables affect the execution of uustat:
LANG
Provide a default value for the internationalisation variables that are unset or null. If LANG is unset or null, the corresponding value from the implementation-dependent default locale will be used. If any of the internationalisation variables contains an invalid setting, the utility will behave as if none of the variables had been defined.
LC_ALL
If set to a non-empty string value, override the values of all the other internationalisation variables.
LC_CTYPE
Determine the locale for the interpretation of sequences of bytes of text data as characters (for example, single- as opposed to multi-byte characters in arguments).
LC_MESSAGES
Determine the locale that should be used to affect the format and contents of diagnostic messages written to standard error, and informative messages written to standard output.
LC_TIME
Determine the format of date and time strings output by uustat.
NLSPATH
Determine the location of message catalogues for the processing of LC_MESSAGES .
TZ
Determine the timezone used with date and time strings.
