uucp Options

The following options may be given to uucp.

`-c'

`--nocopy'

Do not copy local source files to the spool directory. If they are removed before being processed by the uucico daemon, the copy will fail. The files must be readable by the uucico daemon, and by the invoking user.

`-C'

`--copy'

Copy local source files to the spool directory. This is the default.

`-d'

`--directories'

Create all necessary directories when doing the copy. This is the default.

`-f'

`--nodirectories'

If any necessary directories do not exist for the destination file name, abort the copy.

`-R'

`--recursive'

If any of the source file names are directories, copy their contents recursively to the destination (which must itself be a directory).

`-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.

`-m'

`--mail'

Report completion or failure of the file transfer by sending mail.

`-n user'

`--notify user'

Report completion or failure of the file transfer by sending mail to the named user on the destination system.

`-r'

`--nouucico'

Do not start the uucico daemon immediately; merely queue up the file transfer for later execution.

`-j'

`--jobid'

Print the jobid on standard output. The job may be later cancelled by passing this jobid to the `-kill' switch of uustat. See section Invoking uustat. It is possible for some complex operations to produce more than one jobid, in which case each will be printed on a separate line. For example

uucp sys1!~user1/file1 sys2!~user2/file2 ~user3

will generate two separate jobs, one for the system `sys1' and one for the system `sys2'.

`-W'

`--noexpand'

Do not prepend remote relative file names with the current directory.

`-t'

`--uuto'

This option is used by the uuto shell script; see section Invoking uuto. It causes uucp to interpret the final argument as `system!user'. The file(s) are sent to `~/receive/user/local' on the remote system, where user is from the final argument and local is the local UUCP system name. Also, uucp will act as though `--notify user' were specified.

`-x type'

`--debug type'

`-I file'

`--config file'

`-v'

`--version'

`--help'

See section Standard Options.
