NAME
uustat - uucp status inquiry and job control
SYNOPSIS
uustat
[ [-m] | [-p] | [-q] | [-k jobid [-n]] | [-r jobid [-n]]]
uustat [-a] [-s system [-j]] [-u user] [-S qric]
uustat -t system [-c] [-d number]
DESCRIPTION
The uustat utility functions in the following three areas:
1. Displays the general status of, or cancels, previ-
ously specified uucp commands. 2. Provides remote system performance information, in terms of average transfer rates or average queue times.3. Provides general remote system-specific and user-
specific status of uucp connections to other sys-
tems. OPTIONS The following options are supported: General StatusThese options obtain general status of, or cancel, previ-
ously specified uucp commands:-a Lists all jobs in queue.
-j Lists the total number of jobs displayed. The -j
option can be used in conjunction with the -a or
the -s option.
-kjobid Kills the uucp request whose job identification
is jobid. The killed uucp request must belong tothe user issuing the uustat command unless the
user is the super-user or uucp administrator. If
the job is killed by the super-user or uucp
administrator, electronic mail is sent to the user.SunOS 5.11 Last change: 28 Mar 1995 1
Communication Commands uustat(1C)
-m Reports the status of accessibility of all
machines.-n Suppresses all standard output, but not standard
error. The -n option is used in conjunction with
the -k and -r options.
-p Executes the command ps -flp for all the
process-ids that are in the lock files.
-q Lists the jobs queued for each machine. If a
status file exists for the machine, its date, time and status information are reported. In addition, if a number appears in parentheses next to the number of C or X files, it is the age indays of the oldest C./X. file for that system. The Retry field represents the number of hours until the next possible call. The Count is the number of failure attempts. Note: For systems with a moderate number of outstanding jobs, this
could take 30 seconds or more of real-time to
execute. An example of the output produced by the-q option is:
eagle 3C 04/07-11:07 NO DEVICES AVAILABLE
mh3bs3 2C 07/07-10:42 SUCCESSFUL
This indicates the number of command files that are waiting for each system. Each command file may have zero or more files to be sent (zero means to call the system and see if work is to be done). The date and time refer to the previous interaction with the system followed by the status of the interaction.-rjobid Rejuvenates jobid. The files associated with
jobid are touched so that their modification time is set to the current time. This prevents the cleanup daemon from deleting the job until the jobs' modification time reaches the limit imposed by the daemon. Remote System Status These options provide remote system performance information, in terms of average transfer rates or average queue times.The -c and -d options can only be used in conjunction with

the -t option:
-tsystem Reports the average transfer rate or average
queue time for the past 60 minutes for the remote system. The following parameters can only be used with this option:-c Average queue time is calculated when the -c
parameter is specified and average transfer ratewhen -c is not specified. For example, the com-
mand:example% uustat -teagle -d50 -c
produces output in the following format: average queue time to eagle for last 50 minutes: 5 secondsThe same command without the -c parameter pro-
duces output in the following format: average transfer rate with eagle for last 50 minutes: 2000.88 bytes/sec-dnumber number is specified in minutes. Used to override
the 60 minute default used for calculations.These calculations are based on information con-
tained in the optional performance log and therefore may not be available. Calculations can only be made from the time that the performance log was last cleaned up.User- or System-Specific Status
These options provide general remote system-specific and
user-specific status of uucp connections to other systems.
Either or both of the following options can be specifiedwith uustat. The -j option can be used in conjunction with
the -s option to list the total number of jobs displayed:
-ssystem Reports the status of all uucp requests for
remote system system.SunOS 5.11 Last change: 28 Mar 1995 3
Communication Commands uustat(1C)
-uuser Reports the status of all uucp requests issued
by user.Output for both the -s and -u options has the following for-
mat:eagleN1bd7 4/07-11:07 S eagle dan 522 /home/dan/A
eagleC1bd8 4/07-11:07 S eagle dan 59 D.3b2al2ce4924
4/07-11:07 S eagle dan rmail mike
With the above two options, the first field is the jobid of the job. This is followed by the date/time. The next field is an S if the job is sending a file or an R if the job is requesting a file. The next field is the machine where thefile is to be transferred. This is followed by the user-id
of the user who queued the job. The next field contains the size of the file, or in the case of a remote execution (rmail is the command used for remote mail), the name of the command. When the size appears in this field, the file name is also given. This can either be the name given by the user or an internal name (for example, D.3b2alce4924) that is created for data files associated with remote executions (rmail in this example).-Sqric Reports the job state:
q for queued jobs r for running jobs i for interrupted jobs c for completed jobs A job is queued if the transfer has not started. A job is running when the transfer has begun. A jobis interrupted if the transfer began but was ter-
minated before the file was completelytransferred. A completed job is a job that suc-
cessfully transferred. The completed state infor-
mation is maintained in the accounting log, which is optional and therefore may be unavailable. The parameters can be used in any combination, but atleast one parameter must be specified. The -S

option can also be used with -s and -u options.
The output for this option is exactly like theoutput for -s and -u except that the job states
are appended as the last output word. Output for a completed job has the following format: eagleC1bd3 completedWhen no options are given, uustat writes to standard output
the status of all uucp requests issued by the current user. ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES See environ(5) for descriptions of the following environmentvariables that affect the execution of uustat: LANG, LC_ALL,
LC_COLLATELC_CTYPE, LC_MESSAGES, LC_TIME, NLSPATH, and TZ.
EXIT STATUS The following exit values are returned: 0 Successful completion. >0 An error occurred. FILES /var/spool/uucp/* spool directories /var/uucp/.Admin/account accounting log /var/uucp/.Admin/perflog performance logATTRIBUTES

the calculations is not being recorded. NOTES After the user has issued the uucp request, if the file to be transferred is moved, deleted or was not copied to thespool directory (-C option) when the uucp request was made,
uustat reports a file size of -99999. This job will eventu-
ally fail because the file(s) to be transferred can not be found.SunOS 5.11 Last change: 28 Mar 1995 6
