NAME

       uumonitor - Monitors the UUCP system

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/lib/uucp/uumonitor

DESCRIPTION

       The uumonitor command displays a synopsis in tabular format of the current UUCP status. The format of each line in the table is as follows:
       system_name #C #X most_recent_status CNT:# time

       Table entries are defined as follows: The remote system for which the entry applies.  The number of C.files queued for the  remote  system.
       The number of requests for remote execution from the remote system.  The result of the most recent attempt to connect to the remote system.
       The number of times that a failure to log in to the remote system has occurred.	This does not include the  number  failed  dial  attempts.
       The time of the last status entry was made for this system.

       The uumonitor command is helpful for detecting systems that have backlogs, that have gone away for awhile, that have changed phone numbers,
       and so forth. The CNT: field is useful for detecting a system whose login/passwd has changed. If the CNT: field gets larger than the  maxi-
       mum  allowable failures (currently 20), no further attempts to connect to this system are made. If the number of C.files queued starts get-
       ting unusually large (depending on the system anywhere from 100-1000), action should be taken to determine the cause of the backlog.

NAME

       Poll - Contains information specifying when the UNIX-to-UNIX Copy Program (UUCP) should poll designated remote computers

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/lib/uucp/Poll

DESCRIPTION

       The  /usr/lib/uucp/Poll	file  contains information for polling remote computers. Each entry in the Poll file contains the name of a remote
       computer to call, followed by a <TAB> character, and a sequence of hourly intervals expressed in digits. These are the hourly intervals	at
       which the local system polls a remote system; you must specify interval times as digits between 0 and 23. The format of entries in the Poll
       file is: sys-name<TAB>hour

       Note that you must be logged in as root to edit the Poll file, which is owned by the uucp login ID.

       The Poll file is used with the crontabs/uucp file, the uudemon.hour script, and the uudemon.poll script.  Together, these files are respon-
       sible for initiating automatic calls to remote systems to perform certain maintenance tasks.

EXAMPLES

       The  following  example provides polling of computer eagle every 4 hours: eagle	   0 4 8 12 16 20 The follwing example provides polling of
       computer hera every hour: hera 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23

FILES

       Contains all the configuration files for UUCP, including the Devices file.  Describes accessible remote systems.  Initiates file  transport
       calls  to  remote  systems.  Polls remote systems listed in /usr/lib/uucp/Poll file.  The uucp file that contains instructions for the cron
       daemon.
