WARNINGS

Only the ﬁrst command of a shell pipeline can have a system-name

!. All other commands are executed on

the system of the ﬁrst command.

The use of the shell metacharacter

* will probably not do what you want it to do. The shell tokens

<< and

>> are not implemented.

The execution of commands on remote systems takes place in an execution directory known to the

UUCP

subsystem. All ﬁles required for the execution are put into this directory unless they already reside on that

machine. Therefore, the simple ﬁle name (without path or machine reference) must be unique within the

uux request. The following command does not work:

uux "a!diff b!/usr/dan/xyz c!/usr/dan/xyz > !xyz.diff"

but the command:

uux "a!diff a!/usr/dan/xyz c!/usr/dan/xyz > !xyz.diff"

works (if diff is a permitted command).

Protected ﬁles and ﬁles that are in protected directories that are owned by the requester can be sent in

commands using uux. However, if the requester is root, and the directory is not searchable by

other,

the request fails.
