uuxqt

uuxqt(8)						      System Manager's Manual							  uuxqt(8)

NAME

       uuxqt - UUCP execution daemon

SYNOPSIS

       uuxqt [ options ]

DESCRIPTION

       The  uuxqt  daemon executes commands requested by uux (1) from either the local system or from remote systems.  It is started automatically
       by the uucico (8) daemon (unless uucico (8) is given the -q or --nouuxqt option).

       There is normally no need to run this command, since it will be invoked by uucico (8).  However, it can be used to provide greater  control
       over the processing of the work queue.

       Multiple invocations of uuxqt may be run at once, as controlled by the max-uuxqts configuration command.

OPTIONS

       The following options may be given to uuxqt.

       -c command, --command command
	    Only execute requests for the specified command.  For example:
		 uuxqt --command rmail

       -s system, --system system
	    Only execute requests originating from the specified system.

       -x type, --debug type
	    Turn  on  particular debugging types.  The following types are recognized: abnormal, chat, handshake, uucp-proto, proto, port, config,
	    spooldir, execute, incoming, outgoing.  Only abnormal, config, spooldir and execute are meaningful for uuxqt.

	    Multiple types may be given, separated by commas, and the --debug option may appear multiple times.  A number may also be given, which
	    will turn on that many types from the foregoing list; for example, --debug 2 is equivalent to --debug abnormal,chat.

	    The debugging output is sent to the debugging file, which may be printed using uulog -D.

       -I file, --config
	    Set configuration file to use.  This option may not be available, depending upon how uuxqt was compiled.

       -v, --version
	    Report version information and exit.

       --help
	    Print a help message and exit.
