uucleanup

uucleanup(1M)						  System Administration Commands					     uucleanup(1M)

NAME

       uucleanup - uucp spool directory clean-up

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/lib/uucp/uucleanup [-Ctime] [-Dtime] [-mstring]
	    [-otime] [-ssystem] [-Wtime] [-xdebug-level] [-Xtime]

DESCRIPTION

       uucleanup will scan the spool directories for old files and take appropriate action to remove them in a useful way:

	   o	  Inform the requester of send/receive requests for systems that can not be reached.

	   o	  Return undeliverable mail to the sender.

	   o	  Deliver rnews files addressed to the local system.

	   o	  Remove all other files.

       In addition, there is a provision to warn users of requests that have been waiting for a given number of days (default 1 day). Note: uucle-
       anup will process as if all option times were specified to the default values unless time is specifically set.

       This program is typically started by the shell uudemon.cleanup, which should be started by cron(1M).

OPTIONS

       -Ctime		Remove any C. files greater or equal to time days old and send appropriate information to the requester (default 7 days).

       -Dtime		Remove any D. files greater or equal to time days old, make an attempt to deliver mail messages, and execute   rnews  when
			appropriate (default 7 days).

       -mstring 	Include  string  in  the  warning message generated by the -W option. The default line is "See your local administrator to
			locate the problem".

       -otime		Delete other files whose age is more than time days (default 2 days).

       -ssystem 	Execute for system spool directory only.

       -Wtime		Any C. files equal to time days old will cause a mail message to be sent to the requester warning about the delay in  con-
			tacting  the  remote.  The  message  includes  the JOBID, and in the case of mail, the mail message. The administrator may
			include a message line telling whom to call to check the problem (-m option) (default 1 day).

       -xdebug-level	Produce debugging output on standard ouput. debug-level is a single digit between  0  and  9;  higher  numbers	give  more
			detailed debugging information. (This option may not be available on all systems.)

       -Xtime		Any  X.  files greater or equal to time days old will be removed. The D. files are probably not present (if they were, the
			X. could get executed). But if there are D. files, they will be taken care of by D. processing (default 2 days).

FILES

       /usr/lib/uucp	  directory with commands used by uucleanup internally

       /var/spool/uucp	  spool directory
