UUSTAT(1P) POSIX Programmer's Manual UUSTAT(1P)
PROLOG
This manual page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual. The Linux implementation of this interface may differ (con-
sult the corresponding Linux manual page for details of Linux behavior), or the interface may not be implemented on
Linux.
NAME
uustat - uucp status inquiry and job control
SYNOPSIS
uustat [ -q| -k jobid| -r jobid]
uustat [-s system][-u user]
DESCRIPTION
The uustat utility shall display the status of, or cancel, previously specified uucp requests, or provide general status
on uucp connections to other systems.
When no options are given, uustat shall write to standard output the status of all uucp requests issued by the current
user.
Typical implementations of this utility require a communications line configured to use the Base Definitions volume of
IEEE Std 1003.1-2001, Chapter 11, General Terminal Interface, but other communications means may be used. On systems
where there are no available communications means (either temporarily or permanently), this utility shall write an error
message describing the problem and exit with a non-zero exit status.
OPTIONS
The uustat utility shall conform to the Base Definitions volume of IEEE Std 1003.1-2001, Section 12.2, Utility Syntax
Guidelines.
The following options shall be supported:
-q Write the jobs queued for each machine.
-k jobid
Kill the uucp request whose job identification is jobid. The application shall ensure that the killed uucp
request belongs to the person invoking uustat unless that user has appropriate privileges.
-r jobid
Rejuvenate jobid. The files associated with jobid are touched so that their modification time is set to the cur-
rent time. This prevents the cleanup program from deleting the job until the jobs modification time reaches the
limit imposed by the program.
-s system
Write the status of all uucp requests for remote system system.
-u user
Write the status of all uucp requests issued by user.
OPERANDS
None.
STDIN
Not used.
INPUT FILES
None.
ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
The following environment variables shall affect the execution of uustat:
LANG Provide a default value for the internationalization variables that are unset or null. (See the Base Definitions
volume of IEEE Std 1003.1-2001, Section 8.2, Internationalization Variables for the precedence of international-
ization variables used to determine the values of locale categories.)
LC_ALL If set to a non-empty string value, override the values of all the other internationalization variables.
LC_CTYPE
Determine the locale for the interpretation of sequences of bytes of text data as characters (for example, single-
byte as opposed to multi-byte characters in arguments).
LC_MESSAGES
Determine the locale that should be used to affect the format and contents of diagnostic messages written to stan-
dard error, and informative messages written to standard output.
NLSPATH
Determine the location of message catalogs for the processing of LC_MESSAGES .
ASYNCHRONOUS EVENTS
Default.
STDOUT
The standard output shall consist of information about each job selected, in an unspecified format. The information shall
include at least the job ID, the user ID or name, and the remote system name.
STDERR
The standard error shall be used only for diagnostic messages.
OUTPUT FILES
None.
EXTENDED DESCRIPTION
None.
EXIT STATUS
The following exit values shall be returned:
0 Successful completion.
>0 An error occurred.
CONSEQUENCES OF ERRORS
Default.
The following sections are informative.
APPLICATION USAGE
None.
EXAMPLES
None.
RATIONALE
None.
FUTURE DIRECTIONS
None.
