uux Options

The following options may be given to uux.

`-'

`-p'

`--stdin'

Read standard input up to end of file, and use it as the standard input for the command to be executed.

`-c'

`--nocopy'

Do not copy local files to the spool directory. This is the default. If they are removed before being processed by the uucico daemon, the copy will fail. The files must be readable by the uucico daemon, as well as the by the invoker of uux.

`-C'

`--copy'

Copy local files to the spool directory.

`-l'

`--link'

Link local files into the spool directory. If a file can not be linked because it is on a different device, it will be copied unless one of the `-c' or `--nocopy' options also appears (in other words, use of `--link' switches the default from `--nocopy' to `--copy'). If the files are changed before being processed by the uucico daemon, the changed versions will be used. The files must be readable by the uucico daemon, as well as by the invoker of uux.

`-g grade'

`--grade grade'

Set the grade of the file transfer command. Jobs of a higher grade are executed first. Grades run 0 to 9, A to Z, a to z, from high to low. See section When to Call.

`-n'

`--notification=no'

Do not send mail about the status of the job, even if it fails.

`-z'

`--notification=error'

Send mail about the status of the job if an error occurs. For many uuxqt daemons, including the Taylor UUCP uuxqt, this is the default action; for those, `--notification=error' will have no effect. However, some uuxqt daemons will send mail if the job succeeds, unless the `--notification=error' option is used. Some other uuxqt daemons will not send mail even if the job fails, unless the `--notification=error' option is used.

`-a address'

`--requestor address'

Report job status, as controlled by the `--notification' option, to the specified mail address.

`-r'

`--nouucico'

Do not start the uucico daemon immediately; merely queue up the execution request for later processing.

`-j'

`--jobid'

Print the jobid on standard output. A jobid will be generated for each file copy operation required to execute the command. These file copies may be later cancelled by passing the jobid to the `-kill' switch of uustat. See section Invoking uustat. Cancelling any file copies will make it impossible to complete execution of the job.

`-x type'

`--debug type'

`-v'

`--version'

`--help'

See section Standard Options.
