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.
