uustat(1C) Communication Commands uustat(1C)NAMEuustat - uucp status inquiry and job control
SYNOPSISuustat [ [-m] | [-p] | [-q] | [ -k jobid [-n]] | [ -r jobid [-n]]]
uustat [-a] [ -s system
[-j]] [-u user] [-S qric]
uustat-t system [-c] [-d number]
DESCRIPTION
The uustat utility functions in the following three areas:
1. Displays the general status of, or cancels, previously specified
uucp commands.
2. Provides remote system performance information, in terms of average
transfer rates or average queue times.
3. Provides general remote system-specific and user-specific status of
uucp connections to other systems.
OPTIONS
The following options are supported:
General Status
These options obtain general status of, or cancel, previously speci‐
fied uucp commands:
-a Lists all jobs in queue.
-j Lists the total number of jobs displayed. The -j option can be
used in conjunction with the -a or the -s option.
-kjobid Kills the uucp request whose job identification is jobid. The
killed uucp request must belong to the user issuing the uus‐
tat command unless the user is the super-user or uucp adminis‐
trator. If the job is killed by the super-user or uucp admin‐
istrator, electronic mail is sent to the user.
-m Reports the status of accessibility of all machines.
-n Suppresses all standard output, but not standard error. The -n
option is used in conjunction with the -k and -r options.
-p Executes the command ps -flp for all the process-ids that are
in the lock files.
-q Lists the jobs queued for each machine. If a status file
exists for the machine, its date, time and status information
are reported. In addition, if a number appears in parentheses
next to the number of C or X files, it is the age in days of
the oldest C./X. file for that system. The Retry field repre‐
sents the number of hours until the next possible call. The
Count is the number of failure attempts. Note: For systems
with a moderate number of outstanding jobs, this could take 30
seconds or more of real-time to execute. An example of the
output produced by the -q option is:
eagle 3C 04/07-11:07 NO DEVICES AVAILABLE
mh3bs3 2C 07/07-10:42 SUCCESSFUL
This indicates the number of command files that are waiting
for each system. Each command file may have zero or more files
to be sent (zero means to call the system and see if work is
to be done). The date and time refer to the previous interac‐
tion with the system followed by the status of the interac‐
tion.
-rjobid Rejuvenates jobid. The files associated with jobid are touched
so that their modification time is set to the current time.
This prevents the cleanup daemon from deleting the job until
the jobs' modification time reaches the limit imposed by the
daemon.
Remote System Status
These options provide remote system performance information, in terms
of average transfer rates or average queue times. The -c and -d options
can only be used in conjunction with the -t option:
-tsystem Reports the average transfer rate or average queue time
for the past 60 minutes for the remote system. The fol‐
lowing parameters can only be used with this option:
-c Average queue time is calculated when the -c parameter
is specified and average transfer rate when -c is not
specified. For example, the command:
example% uustat-teagle -d50 -c
produces output in the following format:
average queue time to eagle for last 50 minutes: 5 seconds
The same command without the -c parameter produces out‐
put in the following format:
average transfer rate with eagle for last 50 minutes: 2000.88 bytes/sec
-dnumber number is specified in minutes. Used to override the 60
minute default used for calculations. These calcula‐
tions are based on information contained in the
optional performance log and therefore may not be
available. Calculations can only be made from the time
that the performance log was last cleaned up.
User- or System-Specific Status
These options provide general remote system-specific and user-specific
status of uucp connections to other systems. Either or both of the fol‐
lowing options can be specified with uustat. The -j option can be used
in conjunction with the -s option to list the total number of jobs dis‐
played:
-ssystem Reports the status of all uucp requests for remote sys‐
tem system.
-uuser Reports the status of all uucp requests issued by user.
Output for both the -s and -u options has the following format:
eagleN1bd7 4/07-11:07 S eagle dan 522 /home/dan/A
eagleC1bd8 4/07-11:07 S eagle dan 59 D.3b2al2ce4924
4/07-11:07 S eagle dan rmail mike
With the above two options, the first field is the jobid of the job.
This is followed by the date/time. The next field is an S if the job is
sending a file or an R if the job is requesting a file. The next field
is the machine where the file is to be transferred. This is followed by
the user-id of the user who queued the job. The next field contains the
size of the file, or in the case of a remote execution (rmail is the
command used for remote mail), the name of the command. When the size
appears in this field, the file name is also given. This can either be
the name given by the user or an internal name (for example,
D.3b2alce4924) that is created for data files associated with remote
executions (rmail in this example).
-Sqric Reports the job state:
q for queued jobs
r for running jobs
i for interrupted jobs
c for completed jobs
A job is queued if the transfer has not started. A job is run‐
ning when the transfer has begun. A job is interrupted if the
transfer began but was terminated before the file was com‐
pletely transferred. A completed job is a job that success‐
fully transferred. The completed state information is main‐
tained in the accounting log, which is optional and therefore
may be unavailable. The parameters can be used in any combina‐
tion, but at least one parameter must be specified. The -S
option can also be used with -s and -u options. The output for
this option is exactly like the output for -s and -u except
that the job states are appended as the last output word. Out‐
put for a completed job has the following format:
eagleC1bd3 completed
When no options are given, uustat writes to standard output the status
of all uucp requests issued by the current user.
ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
See environ(5) for descriptions of the following environment variables
that affect the execution of uustat: LANG, LC_ALL, LC_COLLATELC_CTYPE,
LC_MESSAGES, LC_TIME, NLSPATH, and TZ.
EXIT STATUS
The following exit values are returned:
0 Successful completion.
>0 An error occurred.
FILES
/var/spool/uucp/* spool directories
/var/uucp/.Admin/account accounting log
/var/uucp/.Admin/perflog performance log

The -t option produces no message when the data needed for the calcula‐
tions is not being recorded.
NOTES
After the user has issued the uucp request, if the file to be trans‐
ferred is moved, deleted or was not copied to the spool directory (-C
option) when the uucp request was made, uustat reports a file size of
−99999. This job will eventually fail because the file(s) to be trans‐
ferred can not be found.
