AVAILABILITY
This command is available with the
uucp
software installation option. Refer to
[a manual with the abbreviation INSTALL]
for information on how to install optional software.
DESCRIPTION
uucleanup
will scan the spool directories for old files
and take appropriate action to remove them in a
useful way:
-
- Inform the requestor of send/receive requests for
systems that cannot be reached.
- Return mail, which cannot be delivered, to
the sender.
- Delete or execute
rnews
for
rnews
type files
(depending on where the news originated -- locally or
remotely).
- Remove all other files.
In addition, there is provision to warn users of requests that
have been waiting for a given number of days (default 1 day).
Note:
uucleanup
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.8
OPTIONS
- -Ctime
-
Remove any
C.
files that are at least
time
days old (default 7 days), and send appropriate information to the requestor.
- -Dtime
-
Remove any
D.
files that are at least
time
days old (default 7 days), and make an attempt to deliver mail messages and
execute
rnews
when appropriate.
- -mstring
-
Include this line 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 that are more than
time
days old (default 2 days).
- -ssystem
-
Execute for the spool directory for the remote system
system
only.
- -Wtime
-
Send a mail message to be sent to the requestor warning about
the delay in contacting the remote for any
C.
files that are
time
days old (default 1 day).
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).
- -x debug_level
-
Produce debugging output on the standard output.
debug_level
is a number between 0 and 9; higher numbers give more detailed information.
5, 7, and 9 are good numbers to try;
they give increasing amounts of detail.
- -Xtime
-
Remove any
X.
files that are at least
time
days old (default 2 days).
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.
