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

uux
Options
Unlike arguments to uucp, pathnames cannot contain the shell metacharacters ?, *,
and [ ].
Nonlocal filenames must be unique within the command, or the command fails. This
is because nonlocal files are copied to a working directory on the remote site; if the
filenames are not unique, one overwrites another.
If the command fails, you are notified by electronic mail.
–b Mails input back to the user. The contents of stdin are sent back to the
user if the command fails.
–C Copies named files to the spool directory for transfer. If both this option and
the –c option are given, this option takes precedence. This option is useful
if you will be making changes to the file after running the uux command
and want to send the version of the file before you changed it.
–c Does not copy files to the spool directory for transfer. This is the default.
–g grade
Sets the priority of the job to grade. It is a number (0–9) or a letter (A–Z,
a–z), where 0 is the highest priority and z is the lowest.
–j Passes the UUCP job ID number to standard output. This job ID can be
used with uustat to determine the job’s status or to terminate it. If the uux
request generates several job IDs, only the last is shown.
–n Does not send mail if the command fails.
–p Uses standard input of uux as the standard input for the specified
command. The input is stored in a temporary file that is passed to the
command when it runs.
–r Queues the job to be processed later. Do not start uucico to begin
transferring the file.
–x debug_level
Sets the verbosity of the debugging information to debug_level, which is a
number that is 0 or greater. Level 0 provides terse messages while level 9
provides verbose messages. Values greater than 9 give no additional
information. The default level is 0.
–z Returns notification of success to the user who issued the uux command.
Commands on remote sites are actually run by uuxqt in its own directory,
/usr/spool/uucp/.Xqtdir.
Special Characters
The command string passed to uux can use the shell metacharacters , ;, and │.
If any of these characters are not valid for the command interpreter on the
destination system, the command fails.
More complex redirection, such as 2>, is not handled by uux because the 2 is
interpreted as a parameter to the preceeding command). Only the simple
metacharacters listed are allowed.
To escape a filename or quoted string, use parentheses. Parentheses pass the
filename to the command on the remote site without special interpretation by uux.
