NAME
       Log, .Log - Contains the uucp program log files

SYNOPSIS
       /usr/spool/uucp/.Log

DESCRIPTION
       The  /usr/spool/uucp/.Log  directories  contain uucp program log files.
       The uucp program normally places status information about each transac‐
       tion in the appropriate log file each time you use the networking util‐
       ities facility. All transactions of the uucico and  uuxqt  daemons  are
       logged  in  files named for the remote system concerned.	 The files are
       stored in a subdirectory of the	/usr/spool/uucp/.Log  directory	 named
       for  the daemon involved.  Thus, the log files are named with a form of
       the following: /usr/spool/uucp/.Log/DaemonName/SystemName

       The uucp and uuto commands call the uucico daemon.  The	uucico	daemon
       activities  for a particular remote system are logged in the SystemName
       file in the /usr/spool/uucp/.Log/uucico directory on the local system.

       The uux and uusend commands call the uuxqt daemon.   The	 uuxqt	daemon
       activities  for a particular remote system are logged in the SystemName
       file in the /usr/spool/uucp/.Log/uuxqt directory on the local system.

       When more than one uucp process is running, however, the system	cannot
       access  the standard log file, so it places the status information in a
       file with a prefix that covers just the single transaction.

       The uucp program can automatically append the temporary log files to  a
       primary log file.  This is called compacting the log files, and is han‐
       dled by the uudemon.cleanu command, a shell procedure,  which  combines
       the  log	 files	of the activities of the uucico and uuxqt daemons on a
       system and stores them in the /usr/spool/uucp/.Old directory.

       The default is for the uudemon.cleanu command to save  log  files  that
       are 2 days old.	This default can be changed by modifying the appropri‐
       ate line in the shell script.  If storage space is a problem on a  par‐
       ticular	system,	 reduce	 the number of days that the files are kept in
       the individual log files.

       The uulog command can be used to view the uucp program log files.
