NAME
uustat - uucp status inquiry and job control
SYNOPSIS
uustat [ -q| -k jobid| -r jobid]
uustat [-s system][-u user]
DESCRIPTION
The uustat utility shall display the status of, or cancel, previously
specified uucp requests, or provide general status on uucp connections
to other systems.
When no options are given, uustat shall write to standard output the
status of all uucp requests issued by the current user.
Typical implementations of this utility require a communications line
configured to use the Base Definitions volume of IEEE Std 1003.1-2001,
Chapter 11, General Terminal Interface, but other communications means
may be used. On systems where there are no available communications
means (either temporarily or permanently), this utility shall write an
error message describing the problem and exit with a non-zero exit
status.
OPTIONS
The uustat utility shall conform to the Base Definitions volume of
IEEE Std 1003.1-2001, Section 12.2, Utility Syntax Guidelines.
The following options shall be supported:
-q Write the jobs queued for each machine.
-k jobid
Kill the uucp request whose job identification is jobid. The
application shall ensure that the killed uucp request belongs to
the person invoking uustat unless that user has appropriate
privileges.
-r jobid
Rejuvenate jobid. The files associated with jobid are touched so
that their modification time is set to the current time. This
prevents the cleanup program from deleting the job until the
jobs modification time reaches the limit imposed by the program.
-s system
Write the status of all uucp requests for remote system system.
-u user
Write the status of all uucp requests issued by user.
OPERANDS
None.
STDIN
Not used.
INPUT FILES
None.
ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
The following environment variables shall affect the execution of
uustat:
LANG Provide a default value for the internationalization variables
that are unset or null. (See the Base Definitions volume of
IEEE Std 1003.1-2001, Section 8.2, Internationalization
Variables for the precedence of internationalization variables
used to determine the values of locale categories.)
LC_ALL If set to a non-empty string value, override the values of all
the other internationalization variables.
LC_CTYPE
Determine the locale for the interpretation of sequences of
bytes of text data as characters (for example, single-byte as
opposed to multi-byte characters in arguments).
LC_MESSAGES
Determine the locale that should be used to affect the format
and contents of diagnostic messages written to standard error,
and informative messages written to standard output.
NLSPATH
Determine the location of message catalogs for the processing of
LC_MESSAGES .
ASYNCHRONOUS EVENTS
Default.
STDOUT
The standard output shall consist of information about each job
selected, in an unspecified format. The information shall include at
least the job ID, the user ID or name, and the remote system name.
STDERR
The standard error shall be used only for diagnostic messages.
OUTPUT FILES
None.
EXTENDED DESCRIPTION
None.
EXIT STATUS
The following exit values shall be returned:
0 Successful completion.
>0 An error occurred.
CONSEQUENCES OF ERRORS
Default.
The following sections are informative.
APPLICATION USAGE
