uucleanup - Deletes selected old files from the uucp spool
directory
/usr/lib/uucp/uucleanup [options]
If you specify one of the following options, you must provide
a value for days. The default value listed is used if
the option is not specified. Removes any C.* (Command)
files as old as or older than the number of days specified
by days, and sends appropriate information to the
requester. The default is 7 days. The -C and -W options
cannot be combined. Removes any D.* (Data) files as old
as or older than the number of days specified in days.
Also attempts to deliver any remaining mail messages. The
default is 7 days. Includes a specified line of text in
the warning message generated by the -W option. The
default line is:
We have been unable to contact machine machine_name
since you queued your job.
The -m option can be used only with the -W option.
Removes files in addition to those specified by the
-C, -D, and -X options that are as old as or older
than the number of days specified in days. The
default is 2 days. Executes uucleanup only on the
spool directory specified by system. The default
is to clean up all uucp spool directories.
Note that system names can contain only ASCII characters.
Removes TM.* (Temporary) files as old as
or older than the number of days specified by the
days argument. Also attempts to deliver any
remaining mail messages. The default is 7 days.
Sends a mail message to the requester warning that
C.* files as old as or older than the number of
days specified in days are still in the spool
directory. The message includes the job ID and, in
the case of mail, the mail message. The administrator
can use the -m option to include a message
line telling who to call to check the problem. The
default is 1 day. Removes any X.* (Execute) files
as old as or older than the number of days specified
in days. The default is 2 days. Displays
debugging information on the screen of the local
terminal; level must be an integer from 0 to 9.
The higher the number, the more detailed the debugging
information.
The uucleanup program removes outdated files from the
spool directory (/usr/spool/uucp). The uucleanup program
scans the /usr/spool/uucp directory for old files and
takes appropriate action to remove them in a useful way.
The uucleanup command performs the following tasks:
Informs the requester of send/receive requests for systems
that cannot be reached Warns users about requests that
wait more than a specified number of days (the default is
1 day) Returns mail that cannot be delivered to the sender
Removes all other files older than a specified number of
days from the spool directory.
The uucleanup program is not usually invoked from the command
line, but is executed by the shell procedure uudemon.cleanu
located in /usr/lib/uucp, which in turn is
started by the cron script located in
/usr/adm/cron/crontabs/uucp. Only someone with superuser
privileges can issue the uucleanup command from the command
line.
To enable automatic cleanup, edit the file
/usr/adm/cron/crontabs/uucp. Remove the # (number sign)
from the beginning of the uudemon.cleanu line.
To locate files, enter:
# uucleanup -W 2
This form of the command locates C.* (Command)
files 2 or more days old and warns the requesters
that the files have not been sent. To send a message
with a warning, enter:
# uucleanup -W 2 -m "Contact the System Admin about
these files."
This form of the command locates C.* (Command)
files 1 or more days old (the default), warns
requesters their files have not been sent, and
gives them the message:
Contact the System Admin about these files. To
clean up command files that are 8 or more days old,
enter:
# uucleanup -C 8
This form of the command removes all C.* (Command)
files 8 or more days old and sends an appropriate
message to the requesters. Other uucp spool files
are removed based on the default value for that
type. To clean up data and execute files, enter:
# uucleanup -D 7 -X 3
This form of the command removes all D.* (Data)
files 7 or more days old (the default) and all X.*
(Execute) files older than 3 days and attempts to
deliver all undelivered mail. Remaining uucp spool
files are removed based on the default value for
that type. To clean up other files, enter:
# uucleanup -o 2
This form of the command removes uucp spool files
according to their default values except for other
files, which are removed if 2 days or older. To
clean up all files at once, enter the command without
options:
# uucleanup
This form of the command removes all C.*, D.*, and
X.* files, and all other files older than the
default times. To clean up Command files for system
hera, enter:
# uucleanup -s hera -C 5
This form of the command removes all C.* files 5
or more days old and the other uucp spool files
according to their default files for system hera.
(The path to these files is
/usr/spool/uucp/hera/*.)
Specifies the command path. File that starts uudemon.cleanu
shell procedure. Contains all the configuration
files for uucp, and the uudemon.cleanu shell procedure.
