Log(4) Kernel Interfaces Manual Log(4) NAME
Log, .Log - Contains the uucp program log files SYNOPSIS
/usr/spool/uucp/.Log DESCRIPTION
The /usr/spool/uucp/.Log directories contain uucp program log files. The uucp program normally places status information about each trans- action in the appropriate log file each time you use the networking utilities facility. All transactions of the uucico and uuxqt daemons are logged in files named for the remote system concerned. The files are stored in a subdirectory of the /usr/spool/uucp/.Log directory named for the daemon involved. Thus, the log files are named with a form of the following: /usr/spool/uucp/.Log/DaemonName/SystemName The uucp and uuto commands call the uucico daemon. The uucico daemon activities for a particular remote system are logged in the System- Name file in the /usr/spool/uucp/.Log/uucico directory on the local system. The uux and uusend commands call the uuxqt daemon. The uuxqt daemon activities for a particular remote system are logged in the SystemName file in the /usr/spool/uucp/.Log/uuxqt directory on the local system. When more than one uucp process is running, however, the system cannot access the standard log file, so it places the status information in a file with a .Log prefix that covers just the single transaction. The uucp program can automatically append the temporary log files to a primary log file. This is called compacting the log files, and is handled by the uudemon.cleanu command, a shell procedure, which combines the log files of the activities of the uucico and uuxqt daemons on a system and stores them in the /usr/spool/uucp/.Old directory. The default is for the uudemon.cleanu command to save log files that are 2 days old. This default can be changed by modifying the appro- priate line in the shell script. If storage space is a problem on a particular system, reduce the number of days that the files are kept in the individual log files. The uulog command can be used to view the uucp program log files.

uucico(8) System Manager's Manual uucico(8) NAME
uucico - Transfers uucp command, data, and execute files to remote systems SYNOPSIS
uucico [-r role_number] [-x debug_level] [-s system_name] FLAGS
The role_numbers are 1 for server mode and 0 (zero) for client mode. The default is 0 (zero). If uucico is started manually, set this flag to 1. Displays debugging information on the screen of the local terminal. The valid range for debug_level is 0 to 9. The higher the number, the more detailed the final report. This flag is useful in correcting problems with the expect_send sequence in the Systems file. The name of the remote system. Use only when starting uucico manually. The system_name is supplied internally when uucico is started automatically. Note that system names must contain only ASCII characters. DESCRIPTION
The uucico daemon transports uucp Command (C.*), Data (D.*), and Execute (E.*) files created by the uucp and uux commands to a specified remote system. Both the local and remote systems run the uucico daemon, and the two daemons communicate with each other to complete trans- fer requests. The uucico daemon performs the following actions: Scans the spooling directory (/usr/spool/uucp/system_name) on the local system for trans- fer requests. Selects the device used for the communications connection after checking the /usr/lib/uucp/Devices file and the lock files in the /var/spool/locks directory. Places a call to the specified remote system using information in the Systems, Dialers, and Dialcodes files located in the /usr/lib/uucp directory. Performs the required login sequence specified in the Systems file. Checks permissions listed in the /usr/lib/uucp/Permissions file. Checks scheduling limits in the Maxuuscheds and Maxuuxqts files located in the /usr/lib/uucp directory. Runs all transfer requests from both the local and the remote system, placing the transferred files in the public directories (/usr/spool/uucppublic/*). Logs transfer requests and completions in files in the /usr/spool/uucp/.Log/uucico directory. Notifies speci- fied users of transfer requests. Usually the uucico daemon is called by the uucp and uux commands when needed, and is started periodically by the uucp scheduling daemon, uusched, which is started by the cron daemon. The uucico daemon can be started from the command line for debugging. The uucp command uutry also starts uucico with debugging turned on. In the case of a uux command request for the execution of a command on a remote system, the uucico daemon transfers the files, and the uuxqt daemon executes the command on the remote system. ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
The following environment variables affect the execution of uucico: Specifies the flow control used on the connection. Permitted values are: HW (hardware), SW (software), HSW (hardware and software), and NONE. The uugetty on the remote system must also use the same flow con- trol. Specifies the amount of time (in seconds) for uucico to try to establish a connection before it times out. A value of 0 (zero) indicates an unlimited amount of time. EXAMPLES
To start the uucico daemon from the command line as a background process and contact the remote system hera, enter: /usr/lib/uucp/uucico -r1 -shera & To debug uucico connections, start the uucico daemon with the -x flag, and enter: /usr/lib/uucp/uucico -r1 -svenus -x9 FILES
