NAME
       uutry - Tries to contact remote system with debugging on

SYNOPSIS
       uutry [system]

DESCRIPTION
       The uutry command is a shell that invokes uucico to call a remote site, system.	Debugging is turned on (level 9).  The debugging output is
       put into the file /tmp/system.  A tail -f on this file is executed so that the debugging output is printed on the  terminal  during  execu-
       tion.   Typing the Interrupt key sequence gives control back to the terminal while uucico continues to run, putting its output in /tmp/sys-
       tem.

       The uutry command overrides any retry period for a remote system and will attempt to establish a connection immediately.

       The output file, /tmp/system is overwritten each time uutry is executed to system.

FILES
       On a given system, this file contains a list of remote sites accessible through the UUCP protocol.  The	primary  security  file  for  uucp
       which specifies access permissions for remote systems.  Contains information about devices on the local system that can establish a connec-
       tion to a remote computer using the uucp program.  The spool directory where uucp maintains its temporary work files.  Contains lock  files
       that prevent multiple uses of devices and multiple calls to systems.  Called the public directory on a given system, UUCP uses it for send-
       ing and receiving information; ~uucp is a brief way of specifying it.  A file created by uutry to contain traces generated by uucico  while
       connecting to system, system.
