uucico(1M)

TO BE OBSOLETED uucico(1M)

NAME

uucico - transfer ﬁles for the uucp system

SYNOPSIS

/usr/lbin/uucp/uucico -r1 -s

system [

-x debug_level][-d spool_directory]

/usr/lbin/uucp/uucico

[-x debug_level][

-d spool_directory]

Remarks

The

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

tion below.

DESCRIPTION

uucico scans the /var/spool/uucp

directories for work ﬁles. If such ﬁles exist, a connection to a

remote system is attempted using the line protocol for the remote system speciﬁed in ﬁle

/etc/uucp/Systems

. uucico then executes all requests for work and logs the results.

Options

uucico recognizes the following options:

-r1 Start uucico in the MASTER mode. The default is SLAVE mode.

-s system Do work only for the system speciﬁed by system. If there is no work for system on the

local spool directory, initiate a connection to system to determine if system has work

for the local system. This option must be used if

-r1 is speciﬁed.

-d spool_directory

Search directory spool_directory instead of the default spool directories (usually

/var/spool/uucp/*

-x debug_level Use debugging option. debug_level is an integer in the range 1 through 9. More

debugging information is given for larger values of debug_level.

uucico is usually started by a local program such as cron, uucp,or uuxqt (see cron(1M), uucp(1), and

uuxqt(1M)). Only when debugging should a user initiate

uucico directly.

When started by a local program, uucico is considered the MASTER and attempts a connection to a

remote system. If uucico is started by a remote system, it is considered to be in SLAVE mode.

For the uucico connection to a remote system to be successful, there must be an entry in the

/etc/passwd ﬁle on the remote system of the form:

uucp::5:5::/var/spool/uucppublic:/usr/lbin/uucp/uucico

WARNINGS

Use of uucp commands, including uucico, is discouraged because they are targeted for removal from

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