thanks for all of the help.. i guess i should have mentioned that i am running sco openserver.. i dont know if it matters or not, but the more information the better.... anyway, it looks like the best way to do this is to set up a script and use crontab..
manually, i was using the get command from the back up machine, but if its all the same, put from the production machine will work fine.
now, its time to get down to the creation of the script and setting up cron to run it...
my unix background is about three weeks, but i have been an (i apologize in advanced) NT admin for over a year, so please forgive my ignorance.
anyway, if any of you would like to assist me in setting this up i would be very gratefull... This website, Unix: the complete reference, and sco unix in a nutshell are the only resources i have so far, so i am relying on you all a little...

thanks again...

NAME
uudemon.admin, uudemon.cleanu, uudemon.hour, uudemon.poll - Administrative shell scripts for polling remote systems, cleaning up spool directories, reporting status to the system administrator, and routine invocations of the uuxqt and uusched daemons SYNOPSIS
These shell scripts reside in the following directory: /usr/lib/uucp DESCRIPTION
All the scripts can be run from the command line or can be run automatically by the cron daemon. To automatically run the scripts, remove the comment character (#) from the beginning of the relevant line in the /var/spool/cron/crontabs/uucp file. This script reports status to the system administrator. It issues the uustat command to find out the status of uucp jobs. It mails the results to the uucp login ID. The script may be modified to send mail to any login ID such as the uucp administrative login ID (uucpa) or root. This script cleans up the /var/spool/uucp and /var/spool/uucppublic directories by running the uucleanup command. The uucleanup com- mand is run with the following parameters: -C7, -D7, X2, -o2, -W1. This script runs the uusched and uuxqt daemons in the background. This script polls the systems listed in the /usr/lib/uucp/Poll file. The uudemon.poll script should be scheduled before the uudemon.hour script. This allows uudemon.poll to create any command files before cron runs the uudemon.hour script. FILES
Contains the uudemon.admin, uudemon.cleanu, uudemon.hour and uudemon.poll files. Contains the uucp file. RELATED INFORMATION
Commands: cron(8), uucleanup(8), uusched(8), uuxqt(1) Files: /usr/lib/uucp delim off uudemon(4)
