Name
       uucompact, uumkspool, uurespool, uupoll - uucp utilities

Syntax
       uucompact -ssystem
       uumkspool system ...
       uurespool [ -t# ]
       uupoll system ...

Description
       All of the commands are located in

       The  command  compacts  uucp  system spool directories and associated subdirectories. If system is ALL, then all existing uucp system spool
       directories are compacted.  Otherwise, only the specified system spool directory is compacted.  If no system is	specified,  is	compacted.
       If  is stopped before it is finished, it can be restarted without reprocessing directories.  The command continues processing where it left
       off during it's previous instantiation.

       The command makes a per system spool directory and associated subdirectories for each of the specified systems.	For example, if system	is
       mk3 and if the local system name is penny, the following directories are created:
	       /usr/spool/uucp/sys/mk3
	       /usr/spool/uucp/sys/mk3/C.
	       /usr/spool/uucp/sys/mk3/X.
	       /usr/spool/uucp/sys/mk3/D.
	       /usr/spool/uucp/sys/mk3/D.penny
	       /usr/spool/uucp/sys/mk3/D.penny
       The  command  moves files from old spool directories to	new spool directories.	Because the structure of the spool directories has changed
       from older versions of it is necessary to respool old spooled files to new spool directories in at least two instances:

       o    When installing the current version of

       o    When creating a new system spool directory for each system.

       In the latter case, it is necessary to move files from to the new spool directories.  To ease this task, moves files that have been spooled
       in  one	of 4 formats and respools them under the new spooling structure.  The format is specified by the -t# option, where the number sign
       (#) can be any one of the following:

       o   Original spool - All files are in

       o   Split spool - Contains the subdirectories

       o   Modified split spool -  Contains all subdirectories listed in split spool, and

       o   Used when a new system directory has been created and spool files must be moved from the DEFAULT directory to the new system directory.

       The command forces a connect attempt to the named systems even if recent attempts have failed, but not if the file prohibits the call.  For
       example, the file will prohibit the call if it is the wrong time of day.  Thus, the should be monitored for messages about the connection.

NAME

       uucp, uulog - unix to unix copy

SYNOPSIS

       uucp [ option ] ...  source-file ...  destination-file

       uulog [ option ] ...

DESCRIPTION

       Uucp  copies files named by the source-file arguments to the destination-file argument.	A file name may be a path name on your machine, or
       may have the form

	      system-name!pathname

       where `system-name' is taken from a list of system names which uucp knows about.  Shell metacharacters ?*[] appearing in the pathname  part
       will be expanded on the appropriate system.

       Pathnames may be one of(1)    a full pathname;

       (2)    a pathname preceded by ~user; where user is a userid on the specified system and is replaced by that user's login directory;

       (3)    anything else is prefixed by the current directory.

       If  the result is an erroneous pathname for the remote system the copy will fail.  If the destination-file is a directory, the last part of
       the source-file name is used.

       Uucp preserves execute permissions across the transmission and gives 0666 read and write permissions (see chmod(2)).

       The following options are interpreted by uucp.

       -d     Make all necessary directories for the file copy.

       -c     Use the source file when copying out rather than copying the file to the spool directory.

       -m     Send mail to the requester when the copy is complete.

       Uulog maintains a summary log of uucp and uux(1) transactions in the file `/usr/spool/uucp/LOGFILE' by gathering information  from  partial
       log files named `/usr/spool/uucp/LOG.*.?'.  It removes the partial log files.

       The options cause uulog to print logging information:

       -ssys  Print information about work involving system sys.

       -uuser Print information about work done for the specified user.

FILES

       /usr/spool/uucp - spool directory
       /usr/lib/uucp/* - other data and program files

WARNING

       The  domain  of	remotely  accessible  files  can (and for obvious security reasons, usually should) be severely restricted.  You will very
       likely not be able to fetch files by pathname; ask a responsible person on the remote system to send them to you.  For the same reasons you
       will probably not be able to send files to arbitrary pathnames.

BUGS

       All files received by uucp will be owned by uucp.
       The  -m	option	will  only work sending files or receiving a single file.  (Receiving multiple files specified by special shell characters
       ?*[] will not activate the -m option.)
