 NAME    [Toc]    [Back]
      uucico - transfer files for the uucp system

 SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]
      /usr/lbin/uucp/uucico -r1 -s system [-x debug_level] [-d
      spool_directory]

      /usr/lbin/uucp/uucico [-x debug_level] [-d spool_directory]

 DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]
      The uucp commands, including uucico, are targeted for removal from
      HP-UX; see the WARNINGS below.

      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    [Toc]    [Back]
      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)).  It 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
