Just for the record, I am that same guy called IMPORTANT

now, I never post no homework questions because I am learning unix myself. I am not going to school or whatever it is most of you did to know unix.

I dont and will never understand why people just cant give answers. If you dont know it or you dont want to reply, it will be highly appreciated if you dont reply at all.

me, when I see someone ask a question I know the answer to, there's nothing stopping me from answering the questions regardless.

There's nothing better than an answer from someone experienced in unix who knows what and what not to do with specific commands. and no, the man pages is definitely NOT a good place to refer anybody to. the man pages should only be used for definitions of command.

I learn from seeing examples given by experts or should I say experienced administrators. the man pages can never, and I mean NEVER compare to examples given by a unix administrator. They know what to do. they do it on a constant basis. and I will be really suprised if someone has the nerve to actually disagree that man pages are the best place to learn commands

this may sound disrespectful to most if not all you reading this, but this is the truth you need to take notice of.

and by the way, a true thanks to all of you who have actually helped me and answered my past questions. I really appreciate your help

UUQ(1C) 																   UUQ(1C)

NAME
uuq - examine or manipulate the uucp queue SYNOPSIS
uuq [ -l ] [ -h ] [ -ssystem ] [ -uuser ] [ -djobno ] [ -rsdir ] [ -bbaud ] DESCRIPTION
Uuq is used to examine (and possibly delete) entries in the uucp queue. When listing jobs, uuq uses a format reminiscent of ls. For the long format, information for each job listed includes job number, number of files to transfer, user who spooled the job, number of bytes to send, type of command requested (S for sending files, R for receiving files, X for remote uucp), and file or command desired. Several options are available: -h Print only the summary lines for each system. Summary lines give system name, number of jobs for the system, and total number of bytes to send. -l Specifies a long format listing. The default is to list only the job numbers sorted across the page. -ssystem Limit output to jobs for systems whose system names begin with system. -uuser Limit output to jobs for users whose login names begin with user. -djobno Delete job number jobno (as obtained from a previous uuq command) from the uucp queue. Only the UUCP Administrator is permitted to delete jobs. -rsdir Look for files in the spooling directory sdir instead of the default directory. -bbaud Use baud to compute the transfer time instead of the default 1200 baud. FILES
/usr/spool/uucp/ Default spool directory /usr/spool/uucp/C./C.* Control files /usr/spool/uucp/Dhostname./D.* Outgoing data files /usr/spool/uucp/X./X.* Outgoing execution files SEE ALSO
uucp(1C), uux(1C), uulog(1C), uusnap(8C) BUGS
No information is available on work requested by the remote machine. The user who requests a remote uucp command is unknown. Uuq -l can be horrendously slow. AUTHOR
