Poll(4) Kernel Interfaces Manual Poll(4)
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.
