uucico(1Mbnu)

Synopsis

Description

Options

-c type

The first field in the Devices(4bnu) file is the ``Type'' field. The -c option forces uucico to only use entries in the ``Type'' field that match the user specified type. The specified type is usually the name of a local area network.

-d spool_directory

This option specifies the directory spool_directory that contains the uucp work files to be transferred. The default spool directory is /var/spool/uucp.

-f

Force execution of uucico. This option can be used to force a connection to a remote system even if no work files are to be transferred. The limit on the maximum number of uucico processes defined in Limits(4bnu) is ignored.

-i interface

This option defines the interface used with uucico. The interface only affects slave mode. Known interfaces are UNIX (default), TLI (basic Transport Layer Interface), and TLIS (Transport Layer Interface with STREAMS modules read and write).

-r role_number

A role_number of 1 is used for master mode. A role_number of 0 is used for slave mode (default). When uucico is started by a program or cron(1M), a role_number of 1 should be used for master mode.

-s system_name

The -s option defines the remote system (system_name) that uucico will try to contact. It is required when the role is master; system_name must be defined in the Systems(4bnu) file.

-x debug_level

Both uux(1bnu) and uucp(1bnu) queue jobs that will be transferred by uucico. These jobs are normally started by the uusched(1Mbnu) scheduler, for debugging purposes, and can be started manually. For example, the shell Uutry starts uucico with debugging turned on. The debug_level is a number between 0 and 9. Higher numbers give more detailed debugging information.
