(TO BE OBSOLETED)

NAME

uuclean - uucp spool directory clean-up

SYNOPSIS

/usr/lbin/uucp/uuclean

[ options ]

DESCRIPTION

The

uucp commands, including uuclean, are targeted for removal from HP-UX; see the WARNINGS

below.

uuclean scans the spool directories for ﬁles with the speciﬁed preﬁx and deletes all those that are older

than the speciﬁed number of hours.

Options

uuclean recognizes the following options:

-ddirectory Clean directory instead of the spool directory. If directory is not a valid spool direc-

tory, it cannot contain ‘‘work ﬁles’’; i.e., ﬁles whose names start with

C.. These ﬁles

have special meaning to

uuclean pertaining to

uucp job statistics.

-ppre Scan for ﬁles with pre as the ﬁle preﬁx. Up to 10

-p arguments can be speciﬁed. A

-p without any pre following will cause all ﬁles older than the speciﬁed time to be

deleted.

-ntime Files whose age is more than time hours are deleted if the preﬁx test is satisﬁed

(default time is 72 hours).

-wfile The default action for uuclean is to remove ﬁles that are older than a speciﬁed

time (see -n option). The -w option is used to ﬁnd ﬁles older than time hours;

however, the ﬁles are not deleted. If the argument ﬁle is present the warning is

placed in ﬁle; otherwise, the warnings go to the standard output.

-ssys Only ﬁles destined for system sys are examined. Up to 10 -s arguments can be

speciﬁed.

-mfile The -m option sends mail to the owner of the ﬁle when it is deleted. If a ﬁle is

speciﬁed, an entry is placed in ﬁle.

This program is typically started by

cron (see cron(1M)).

WARNINGS

Use of

uucp commands, including uuclean, is discouraged because they are targeted for removal from

HP-UX. Use ftp(1) or rcp(1) instead.
