uucico daemon

uucico has two modes: slave mode and master mode.
v In slave mode, uucico receives requests from the remote site. The –r0 option
(the default option) starts uucico in slave mode. uucico is typically started in
slave mode by either the uucpd daemon (for remote connections via TCP/IP) or
as the login shell for special UUCP user IDs that can be logged onto via serial
connections. See uucpd and uucp for more information.
v In master mode, uucico processes requests from the local site; the –r1 and –s
options start uucico in master mode. uucico is typically started in master mode
via cron. uucp and uux also invoke uucico in master mode by default.
If uucico cannot contact a remote system, it does not allow itself to run again until
a specified amount of time has passed. You can specify how long the daemon
should wait before trying to call each system again by setting a parameter in the
Permissions file. For information on how to do this, refer to z/OS UNIX System
Services Planning.
If uucico receives a SIGQUIT, SIGTERM or SIGPIPE signal, it ends any current
conversation with a remote site and exits.
–f Ignores the required wait period for all remote systems and makes calls as
requested.
–g grade
Processes outgoing work only if it is designated priority grade or better.
grade is a number (0–9) or letter (A–Z, a–z), where 0 is the highest priority
and z is the lowest.
r0 | –r1
Specifies the mode for uucico to use. r0 (the default) specifies slave mode;
r1 specifies master mode. If you want uucico to call a remote system
(master mode), specify –r1.
–s system
Calls the remote system. By default, uucico calls all defined systems.
–x type
Turns on debugging. type is a number indicating the level of detail. 0 is the
least detail and 9 is the most detail. The debugging output is written to
stderr if uucico is run in the foreground, or to /usr/spool/uucp/LOGFILE if
uucico is run in the background by uucpd or by a remote uucico logging
into a UUCP user ID.
The LOGFILE must be monitored so that it does not fill up your file system.
To call the remote site west, with debugging output sent to stdout:
uucico –r1 –x 9 –s west
uucico uses the following files:
/usr/lib/uucp/config
UUCP configuration file. See uucc.
/usr/spool/uucp/LOGFILE
UUCP debug file
