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 current 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  internationalization  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 standard 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.

       None.

       None.

RATIONALE

       None.
