errors - Contains a record of uucico daemon errors
SYNOPSIS
/usr/spool/uucp/.Admin/errors
DESCRIPTION
The /usr/spool/uucp/.Admin/errors file contains a record of uucico daemon errors that the uucp program cannot correct. For example, if the
uucico daemon is unable to access a directory that is needed for a file transfer, the uucp program records this in the errors file. If
debugging is enabled for the uucico daemon, the uucp program sends the error messages to standard output instead of to the errors file.
EXAMPLES
Following is the text of an error that might appear in the errors file: ASSERT ERROR (uucico) pid: 303 (7/18-8:25:09) SYS-
TAT OPEN FAIL /usr/spool/uucp/.Status/ (21) [SCCSID: @(#)systat.c 7.2 87/07/08 16:43:37, FILE: systat.c, LINE:100]
This error occurred on July 18 at 8:25:09 a.m. [(7/18-8:25:09)] when the uucico daemon, running as process 303 [(uucico) pid: 303], could
not open the /usr/spool/uucp/.Status directory [SYSTAT OPEN FAIL /usr/spool/uucp/.Status/]. To prevent this error from occurring again,
you should make sure the permissions for the .Status directory are correct. It should be owned by the uucp login ID and group uucp, with
permissions of 777 (read, write, and execute for owner, group, and all others).
FILES
Contains the errors file and other uucp administrative files Lists the last time a remote system was contacted and the minimum time until
the next retry

I'm a newbie so I'm not sure if I'm posting this in the right section... if I didn't, please forgive me :)
I've been looking all over the web for information on system administration. I'd like to become a Unix System Administrator but I want to find some more info about the job. Can someone please... (54 Replies)
