NAME
uupoll - run uucico to poll systems specified in
/etc/uucp/Poll
SYNOPSIS
uupoll
DESCRIPTION
uupoll should be run out of cron once an hour. It parses
the file /etc/uucp/Poll and calls uucico to initiate a
uucp transfer with any systems listed in /etc/uucp/Poll
that have call times matching the current hour.
The format of /etc/uucp/Poll is:
system_name<TAB>HH HH HH HH HH
The first white space after the system_name must be a tab.
The tab is followed by a white space separated list of
hours. Each hour must be 2 digits and the time is
expected to be in 24 hour format. To have a poll happen
during the 8 A.M. hour the needed entry would be 08, while
for an 8 P.M. poll the entry would be 20.
BUGS
There are no known bugs at the time of this writing.
