NAME

       uucico - transfer files for the uucp system

SYNOPSIS

       system debug_level] spool_directory]

       debug_level] spool_directory]

   Remarks
       The commands, including are targeted for removal from HP-UX; see the section below.

DESCRIPTION

       scans  the  directories	for work files.  If such files exist, a connection to a remote system is attempted using the line protocol for the
       remote system specified in file then executes all requests for work and logs the results.

   Options
       recognizes the following options:

	      Start	     in the MASTER mode.  The default is SLAVE mode.

	      Do work only for the system specified by
			     system.  If there is no work for system on the local spool directory, initiate a connection to system to determine if
			     system has work for the local system.  This option must be used if is specified.

	      Search directory
			     spool_directory instead of the default spool directories (usually

	      Use debugging option.
			     debug_level  is  an  integer  in  the  range  1  through 9.  More debugging information is given for larger values of
			     debug_level.

       is usually started by a local program such as or (see cron(1M), uucp(1), and uuxqt(1M)).   Only	when  debugging  should  a  user  initiate
       directly.

       When  started by a local program, is considered the MASTER and attempts a connection to a remote system.  If is started by a remote system,
       it is considered to be in SLAVE mode.

       For the connection to a remote system to be successful, there must be an entry in the file on the remote system of the form:
