PROLOG

6       This  manual  page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual.  The Linux
7       implementation of this interface may differ (consult the  corresponding
8       Linux  manual page for details of Linux behavior), or the interface may
9       not be implemented on Linux.

NAME

12       uustat — uucp status enquiry and job control
13

SYNOPSIS

15       uustat [-q|-k jobid|-r jobid]
16
17       uustat [-s system] [-u user]
18

DESCRIPTION

20       The uustat utility shall display the status of, or  cancel,  previously
21       specified  uucp requests, or provide general status on uucp connections
22       to other systems.
23
24       When no options are given, uustat shall write to  standard  output  the
25       status of all uucp requests issued by the current user.
26
27       Typical  implementations  of this utility require a communications line
28       configured to use the Base Definitions volume of POSIX.1‐2017,  Chapter
29       11,  General  Terminal Interface, but other communications means may be
30       used. On systems where there  are  no  available  communications  means
31       (either  temporarily or permanently), this utility shall write an error
32       message describing the problem and exit with a non-zero exit status.
33

OPTIONS

35       The uustat utility shall conform to  the  Base  Definitions  volume  of
36       POSIX.1‐2017, Section 12.2, Utility Syntax Guidelines.
37
38       The following options shall be supported:
39
40       -q        Write the jobs queued for each machine.
41
42       -k jobid  Kill the uucp request whose job identification is jobid.  The
43                 application shall ensure that the killed uucp request belongs
44                 to  the person invoking uustat unless that user has appropri‐
45                 ate privileges.
46
47       -r jobid  Rejuvenate  jobid.   The  files  associated  with  jobid  are
48                 touched so that their modification time is set to the current
49                 time. This prevents the cleanup program from deleting the job
50                 until the jobs modification time reaches the limit imposed by
51                 the program.
52
53       -s system Write the status of all uucp requests for remote system  sys‐
54                 tem.
55
56       -u user   Write the status of all uucp requests issued by user.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

68       The  following environment variables shall affect the execution of uus‐
69       tat:
70
71       LANG      Provide a default value for  the  internationalization  vari‐
72                 ables  that are unset or null. (See the Base Definitions vol‐
73                 ume of POSIX.1‐2017, Section 8.2, Internationalization  Vari‐
74                 ables  for  the  precedence of internationalization variables
75                 used to determine the values of locale categories.)
76
77       LC_ALL    If set to a non-empty string value, override  the  values  of
78                 all the other internationalization variables.
79
80       LC_CTYPE  Determine  the  locale for the interpretation of sequences of
81                 bytes of text data as characters (for example, single-byte as
82                 opposed to multi-byte characters in arguments).
83
84       LC_MESSAGES
85                 Determine the locale that should be used to affect the format
86                 and contents  of  diagnostic  messages  written  to  standard
87                 error, and informative messages written to standard output.
88
89       NLSPATH   Determine the location of message catalogs for the processing
90                 of LC_MESSAGES.
91

ASYNCHRONOUS EVENTS

93       Default.
94

STDOUT

96       The standard  output  shall  consist  of  information  about  each  job
97       selected,  in  an  unspecified format. The information shall include at
98       least the job ID, the user ID or name, and the remote system name.
99

STDERR

101       The standard error shall be used only for diagnostic messages.
102

OUTPUT FILES

104       None.
