.TH uucico 8 "Taylor UUCP 1.06"
|
|
.SH NAME
|
|
uucico \- UUCP file transfer daemon
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
.B uucico
|
|
[ options ]
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.I uucico
|
|
daemon processes file transfer requests queued by
|
|
.I uucp
|
|
(1) and
|
|
.I uux
|
|
(1). It is started when
|
|
.I uucp
|
|
or
|
|
.I uux
|
|
is run (unless they are given the
|
|
.B \-r
|
|
option). It is also typically started periodically using
|
|
entries in the
|
|
.I crontab
|
|
table(s).
|
|
|
|
When invoked with
|
|
.B \-r1,
|
|
.B \-\-master,
|
|
.B \-s,
|
|
.B \-\-system,
|
|
or
|
|
.B \-S,
|
|
the daemon will place a call to a remote system, running in master
|
|
mode. Otherwise the daemon will start in slave mode, accepting a call
|
|
from a remote system. Typically a special login name will be set up
|
|
for UUCP which automatically invokes
|
|
.I uucico
|
|
when a call is made.
|
|
|
|
When
|
|
.I uucico
|
|
terminates, it invokes the
|
|
.I uuxqt
|
|
(8) daemon, unless the
|
|
.B \-q
|
|
or
|
|
.B \-\-nouuxqt
|
|
option is given;
|
|
.I uuxqt
|
|
(8) executes any work orders created by
|
|
.I uux
|
|
(1) on a remote system, and any work orders created locally which have
|
|
received remote files for which they were waiting.
|
|
|
|
If a call fails,
|
|
.I uucico
|
|
will normally refuse to retry the
|
|
call until a certain (configurable) amount of time
|
|
has passed. This may be overriden by the
|
|
.B -f,
|
|
.B --force,
|
|
or
|
|
.B -S
|
|
option.
|
|
|
|
The
|
|
.B \-l,
|
|
.B \-\-prompt,
|
|
.B \-e,
|
|
or
|
|
.B \-\-loop
|
|
options may be used to force
|
|
.I uucico
|
|
to produce its own prompts of "login: " and "Password:". When another
|
|
daemon calls in, it will see these prompts and log in as usual. The
|
|
login name and password will normally be checked against a separate
|
|
list kept specially for
|
|
.I uucico
|
|
rather than the
|
|
.I /etc/passwd
|
|
file; it is possible on some systems to direct
|
|
.I uucico
|
|
to use the
|
|
.I /etc/passwd
|
|
file. The
|
|
.B \-l
|
|
or
|
|
.B \--prompt
|
|
option will prompt once and then exit; in this mode the UUCP
|
|
administrator or the superuser may use the
|
|
.B \-u
|
|
or
|
|
.B \--login
|
|
option to force a login name, in which case
|
|
.I uucico
|
|
will not prompt for one.
|
|
The
|
|
.B \-e
|
|
or
|
|
.B \--loop
|
|
option will prompt again after the first session is over; in this mode
|
|
.I uucico
|
|
will permanently control a port.
|
|
|
|
If
|
|
.I uucico
|
|
receives a SIGQUIT, SIGTERM or SIGPIPE signal, it will cleanly abort
|
|
any current conversation with a remote system and exit. If it
|
|
receives a SIGHUP signal it will abort any current conversation, but
|
|
will continue to place calls to (if invoked with
|
|
.B \-r1
|
|
or
|
|
.B \-\-master)
|
|
and accept calls from (if invoked with
|
|
.B \-e
|
|
or
|
|
.B \-\-loop)
|
|
other systems. If it receives a
|
|
SIGINT signal it will finish the current conversation, but will not
|
|
place or accept any more calls.
|
|
.SH OPTIONS
|
|
The following options may be given to
|
|
.I uucico.
|
|
.TP 5
|
|
.B \-r1, \-\-master
|
|
Start in master mode (call out to a system); implied by
|
|
.B \-s,
|
|
.B \-\-system,
|
|
or
|
|
.B \-S.
|
|
If no system is specified, call any system for which work is waiting
|
|
to be done.
|
|
.TP 5
|
|
.B \-r0, \-\-slave
|
|
Start in slave mode. This is the default.
|
|
.TP 5
|
|
.B \-s system, \-\-system system
|
|
Call the named system.
|
|
.TP 5
|
|
.B \-S system
|
|
Call the named system, ignoring any required wait. This is equivalent
|
|
to
|
|
.B \-s system \-f.
|
|
.TP 5
|
|
.B \-f, \-\-force
|
|
Ignore any required wait for any systems to be called.
|
|
.TP 5
|
|
.B \-l, \-\-prompt
|
|
Prompt for login name and password using "login: " and "Password:".
|
|
This allows
|
|
.I uucico
|
|
to be easily run from
|
|
.I inetd
|
|
(8). The login name and password are checked against the UUCP
|
|
password file, which probably has no connection to the file
|
|
.I /etc/passwd.
|
|
The
|
|
.B \-\-login
|
|
option may be used to force a login name, in which cause
|
|
.I uucico
|
|
will only prompt for a password.
|
|
.TP 5
|
|
.B \-p port, \-\-port port
|
|
Specify a port to call out on or to listen to.
|
|
.TP 5
|
|
.B \-e, \-\-loop
|
|
Enter endless loop of login/password prompts and slave mode daemon
|
|
execution. The program will not stop by itself; you must use
|
|
.I kill
|
|
(1) to shut it down.
|
|
.TP 5
|
|
.B \-w, \-\-wait
|
|
After calling out (to a particular system when
|
|
.B \-s,
|
|
.B \-\-system,
|
|
or
|
|
.B \-S
|
|
is specifed, or to all systems which have work when just
|
|
.B \-r1
|
|
or
|
|
.B \-\-master
|
|
is specifed), begin an endless loop as with
|
|
.B \-\-loop.
|
|
.TP 5
|
|
.B \-q, \-\-nouuxqt
|
|
Do not start the
|
|
.I uuxqt
|
|
(8) daemon when finished.
|
|
.TP 5
|
|
.B \-c, \-\-quiet
|
|
If no calls are permitted at this time, then don't make the call, but
|
|
also do not put an error message in the log file and do not update the
|
|
system status (as reported by
|
|
.I uustat
|
|
(1)). This can be convenient for automated polling scripts, which may
|
|
want to simply attempt to call every system rather than worry about
|
|
which particular systems may be called at the moment. This option
|
|
also suppresses the log message indicating that there is no work to be
|
|
done.
|
|
.TP 5
|
|
.B \-C, \-\-ifwork
|
|
Only call the system named by
|
|
.B \-s,
|
|
.B \-\-system
|
|
or
|
|
.B \-S
|
|
if there is work for that system.
|
|
.TP 5
|
|
.B \-D, \-\-nodetach
|
|
Do not detach from the controlling terminal. Normally
|
|
.I uucico
|
|
detaches from the terminal before each call out to another system and
|
|
before invoking
|
|
.I uuxqt.
|
|
This option prevents this.
|
|
.TP 5
|
|
.B \-u name, \-\-login name
|
|
Set the login name to use instead of that of the invoking user. This
|
|
option may only be used by the UUCP administrator or the superuser.
|
|
If used with
|
|
.B \-\-prompt,
|
|
this will cause
|
|
.I uucico
|
|
to prompt only for the password, not the login name.
|
|
.TP 5
|
|
.B \-z, \-\-try-next
|
|
If a call fails after the remote system is reached, try the next
|
|
alternate rather than simply exiting.
|
|
.TP 5
|
|
.B \-i type, \-\-stdin type
|
|
Set the type of port to use when using standard input. The only
|
|
support port type is TLI, and this is only available on machines which
|
|
support the TLI networking interface. Specifying
|
|
.B \-iTLI
|
|
causes
|
|
.I uucico
|
|
to use TLI calls to perform I/O.
|
|
.TP 5
|
|
.B \-x type, \-X type, \-\-debug type
|
|
Turn on particular debugging types. The following types are
|
|
recognized: abnormal, chat, handshake, uucp-proto, proto, port,
|
|
config, spooldir, execute, incoming, outgoing.
|
|
|
|
Multiple types may be given, separated by commas, and the
|
|
.B \-\-debug
|
|
option may appear multiple times. A number may also be given, which
|
|
will turn on that many types from the foregoing list; for example,
|
|
.B \-\-debug 2
|
|
is equivalent to
|
|
.B \-\-debug abnormal,chat.
|
|
|
|
The debugging output is sent to the debugging file, usually one of
|
|
/usr/spool/uucp/Debug, /usr/spool/uucp/DEBUG, or
|
|
/usr/spool/uucp/.Admin/audit.local.
|
|
.TP 5
|
|
.B \-I file, \-\-config file
|
|
Set configuration file to use. This option may not be available,
|
|
depending upon how
|
|
.I uucico
|
|
was compiled.
|
|
.TP 5
|
|
.B \-v, \-\-version
|
|
Report version information and exit.
|
|
.TP 5
|
|
.B \-\-help
|
|
Print a help message and exit.
|
|
.SH FILES

|
|
configuration file, so these are only approximations.
