UUSTAT(1)                  POSIX Programmer's Manual                 UUSTAT(1)



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

NAME
       uustat -- uucp status enquiry 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 POSIX.1-2017, 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
       POSIX.1-2017, 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 POSIX.1-2017, 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.

APPLICATION USAGE
       This utility is part of the UUCP Utilities option and need not be
       supported by all implementations.

EXAMPLES
       None.

RATIONALE
       None.

FUTURE DIRECTIONS
       None.
