UUSTATUS(1L)

NAME
uustatus - check UUCP status on HDB systems

SYNOPSIS
uustatus [-obui]

DESCRIPTION
Uustatus will dynamically display the status of ongoing and failed UUCP connections. It is intended to be used with the HDB (HoneyDanBer) UUCP system. It runs under most version of BSD (4.1 and later), SCO XENIX, and most SVR3 and SVR4 implementations.

OPTIONS
The options to uustatus are as follows:

-o  Oneshot. Output statistics once to stdout.

-b  Beep when a conversation is taking place.

-u  Start a uucico for each system that has output queued for it. This option operates sequentially to prevent multiple uucico's from loading the system.

-i  Limit output to systems that either (1) have output files queued, (2) systems currently in conversation or (3) have input files pending. This option may be used where the number of systems exceeds the ability of the screen to display.

PORTING
This utility was written for System V; however it should run "as is" on BSD systems.

CAVEATS
As distributed, this utility will not display statistics concerning failed UUCP connections due to "WRONG TIME TO CALL" errors.
File transfers lasting less than XFERTIME seconds (defined in uustatus.h) will be ignored when calculating throughput.
The algorithm used to read the xferstats file is very inefficient; therefore, it is recommended that the xferstats file be trimmed often to reduce overhead.
