uux Examples

Here are some examples of using uux.

uux -z - sys1!rmail user1

This will execute the command `rmail user1' on the system `sys1', giving it as standard input whatever is given to uux as standard input. If a failure occurs, mail will be sent to the user who ran the command.

uux 'diff -c sys1!~user1/file1 sys2!~user2/file2 >!file.diff'

This will fetch the two named files from system `sys1' and system `sys2' and execute `diff', putting the result in `file.diff' in the current directory on the local system. The current directory must be writable by the uuxqt daemon for this to work.

uux 'sys1!uucp ~user1/file1 (sys2!~user2/file2)'

Execute uucp on the system `sys1' copying `file1' (on system `sys1') to `sys2'. This illustrates the use of parentheses for quoting.
