NAME

     uucleanup - uucp spool directory clean-up


SYNOPSIS

     /usr/lib/uucp/uucleanup  [-Ctime]  [-Dtime]  [-mstring]   [-
     otime] [-ssystem] [-Wtime] [-xdebug-level] [-Xtime]


DESCRIPTION

     uucleanup will scan the spool directories for old files  and
     take appropriate action to remove them in a useful way:

        o  Inform the requester of send/receive requests for sys-
           tems that can not be reached.

        o  Return undeliverable mail to the sender.

        o  Deliver rnews files addressed to the local system.

        o  Remove all other files.

     In addition, there is a provision to warn users of  requests
     that have been waiting for a given number of days (default 1
     day). Note: uucleanup will process as if  all  option  times
     were specified to the default values unless time is specifi-
     cally set.

     This   program   is   typically   started   by   the   shell
     uudemon.cleanup, which should be started by cron(1M).


OPTIONS

     -Ctime
           Remove any C. files greater or equal to time days  old
           and  send  appropriate  information  to  the requester
           (default 7 days).

     -Dtime
           Remove any D. files greater or equal to time days old,
           make  an attempt to deliver mail messages, and execute
           rnews when appropriate (default 7 days).

     -mstring
           Include string in the warning message generated by the
           -W  option.   The  default  line  is  "See  your local
           administrator to locate the problem".

     -otime
           Delete other files whose age is more  than  time  days
           (default 2 days).

     -ssystem
           Execute for system spool directory only.

     -Wtime
           Any C. files equal to time days old will cause a  mail
           message  to be sent to the requester warning about the
           delay in contacting the remote. The  message  includes
           the  JOBID, and in the case of mail, the mail message.
           The administrator may include a message  line  telling
           whom to call to check the problem (-m option) (default
           1 day).

     -xdebug-level
           Produce debugging output  on  standard  ouput.  debug-
           level  is  a  single  digit  between  0  and 9; higher
           numbers  give  more  detailed  debugging  information.
           (This option may not be available on all systems.)

     -Xtime
           Any X. files greater or equal to time days old will be
           removed.  The  D.  files  are probably not present (if
           they were, the X. could get executed).  But  if  there
           are  D.  files,  they will be taken care of by D. pro-
           cessing (default 2 days).
