z/OS V1R9.0 UNIX System Services Command ... - Christian Grothoff

Examples
level 9 provides verbose messages. Values greater than 9 give no
additional information. The default level is 0.
Options are not passed on to remote sites when the destination of your uucp
command is a multihop name. For this uucp command:
uucp –mf file1 site1!site2!/file1
the –m and –f options are ignored. For multihop, uucp creates a uux request to
run a uucp command at the next site (site1 in our example). But because site1 can
be any system that supports uucp, it is possible that this particular system may not
support the same options that are supported by uucp. For that reason, options are
not passed to the uucp command to be run at site1.
To summarize the restrictions when using multihop destination names:
v Options are not passed.
v Shell metacharacters cannot be used in source file names.
1. To copy the file /notes/memo from your site to a file named minutes in the
public UUCP directory on a site named south:
uucp /notes/memo south! ~/minutes
2. You can also copy files locally. To copy the file resume.txt on your site to the
file /business/resumes/november on your site:
uucp resume.txt /business/resumes/november
You must have read permission on the current directory. If the directories
business/resumes don’t already exist, they are created, if you have write
permission in /.
3. To copy the file index from the public UUCP directory on north to the current
directory on the local site:
uucp north! ~/index
You must have write permission on the current directory.
4. To copy the file index from the public UUCP directory on south to the
subdirectory south/records in the public UUCP directory on the current site:
uucp -f -m south! ~/index ' ~/south/records/'
You need to protect the tilde so the shell does not expand them to the user’s
home directory. If the subdirectory south/records does not already exist, the file
copy fails. Mail is sent to you when the transfer is completed successfully.
5. You want to copy a file from your system to the site named east. Your system
does not have a connection to east, but you do have a connection to north,
and north has a connection to east:
uucp memo north!east! ~/memo
6. You want to use shell metacharacters to specify the files to be transferred to a
remote site.
In this command, the source pathname is expanded by the shell. The uucp
command succeeds as long as there is at least one file that matches the name
specification:
uucp /mystuff/file?.[ab&]* remote!/tmp/
uucp
In this command, the source pathname is not expanded by the shell, because it
cannot find any matching file. The '!' is not allowed, because uucp interpretes
all '!' characters as delimiting system names.
