NAME

       Status, .Status - Contains information about the status of the uucp program contacts with remote systems

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/spool/uucp/.Status

DESCRIPTION

       The /usr/spool/uucp/.Status directory contains information about the status of the uucp program contacts with remote systems.

       For  each remote system contacted, the uucp program creates a file in the .Status directory called SystemName, where the SystemName file is
       named for the remote system being contacted.  In the .Status/SystemName file, the uucp program stores the following  information:  Time	of
       the last call in seconds Status of the last call Number of retries Retry time, in seconds, of the next call

       The  times  given  in  the .Status/SystemName file are expressed as seconds elapsed since midnight of January 1, 1970 (the output of a time
       system call).  Thus, the retry time is in the form of the number of seconds that must have expired since midnight of January 1, 1970 before
       the  system  can  retry.  To make this entry in the .Status/SystemName file, uucp performs a time system call, adds 600 seconds, and places
       the resulting number of seconds in the file.  If the last call was unsuccessful, the uucico daemon will wait until the  time  specified	by
       the retry time before attempting to contact the system again.

NAME

       Log, .Log - Contains the uucp program log files

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/spool/uucp/.Log

DESCRIPTION

       The /usr/spool/uucp/.Log directories contain uucp program log files.  The uucp program normally places status information about each trans-
       action in the appropriate log file each time you use the networking utilities facility.	All transactions of the uucico and  uuxqt  daemons
       are  logged  in	files named for the remote system concerned.  The files are stored in a subdirectory of the /usr/spool/uucp/.Log directory
       named for the daemon involved.  Thus, the log files are named with a form of the following: /usr/spool/uucp/.Log/DaemonName/SystemName

       The uucp and uuto commands call the uucico daemon.  The uucico daemon activities for a particular remote system are logged in  the  System-
       Name file in the /usr/spool/uucp/.Log/uucico directory on the local system.

       The uux and uusend commands call the uuxqt daemon.  The uuxqt daemon activities for a particular remote system are logged in the SystemName
       file in the /usr/spool/uucp/.Log/uuxqt directory on the local system.

       When more than one uucp process is running, however, the system cannot access the standard log file, so it places the status information in
       a file with a .Log prefix that covers just the single transaction.

       The  uucp  program can automatically append the temporary log files to a primary log file.  This is called compacting the log files, and is
       handled by the uudemon.cleanu command, a shell procedure, which combines the log files of the activities of the uucico and uuxqt daemons on
       a system and stores them in the /usr/spool/uucp/.Old directory.

       The  default  is for the uudemon.cleanu command to save log files that are 2 days old.  This default can be changed by modifying the appro-
       priate line in the shell script.  If storage space is a problem on a particular system, reduce the number of days that the files  are  kept
       in the individual log files.

       The uulog command can be used to view the uucp program log files.
