Status Directory

`.Status'

This directory holds status files for each remote system. The name of the status file is the name of the system which it describes. Each status file describes the last conversation with the system. Running uustat --status basically just formats and prints the contents of the status files (see section uustat Examples). Each status file has a single text line with six fields.

code

A code indicating the status of the last conversation. The following values are defined, though not all are actually used.

`0'

Conversation completed normally.

`1'

uucico was unable to open the port.

`2'

The last call to the system failed while dailing.

`3'

The last call to the system failed while logging in.

`4'

The last call to the system failed during the initial UUCP protocol handshake (see section The Initial Handshake).

`5'

The last call to the system failed after the initial handshake.

`6'

uucico is currently talking to the system.

`7'

The last call to the system failed because it was the wrong time to call (this is not used if calling the system is never permitted).

retries

The number of retries since the last successful call.

time of last call

The time of the last call, in seconds since the epoch (as returned by the time system call).

wait

If the last call failed, this is the number of seconds since the last call before uucico may attempt another call. This is set based on the retry time; see section When to Call. The `-f' or `-S' options to uucico direct it to ignore this wait time; see section Invoking uucico.

description

A text description of the status, corresponding to the code in the first field. This may contain spaces.

system name

The name of the remote system.
