IEEE/The Open Group 2017 UUSTAT(1POSIX)
Description
The uustat utility shall display the status of, or cancel, previously specified uucp requests, or provide
general status on uucp connections to other systems.
When no options are given, uustat shall write to standard output the status of all uucp requests issued
by the current user.
Typical implementations of this utility require a communications line configured to use the Base
Definitions volume of POSIX.1‐2017, Chapter11, GeneralTerminalInterface, but other communications
means may be used. On systems where there are no available communications means (either temporarily or
permanently), this utility shall write an error message describing the problem and exit with a non-zero
exit status.
Environment Variables
The following environment variables shall affect the execution of uustat:
LANG Provide a default value for the internationalization variables that are unset or null. (See the
Base Definitions volume of POSIX.1‐2017, Section8.2, InternationalizationVariables for the
precedence of internationalization variables used to determine the values of locale
categories.)
LC_ALL If set to a non-empty string value, override the values of all the other internationalization
variables.
LC_CTYPE Determine the locale for the interpretation of sequences of bytes of text data as characters
(for example, single-byte as opposed to multi-byte characters in arguments).
LC_MESSAGES
Determine the locale that should be used to affect the format and contents of diagnostic
messages written to standard error, and informative messages written to standard output.
NLSPATH Determine the location of message catalogs for the processing of LC_MESSAGES.
Examples
None.
Exit Status
The following exit values shall be returned:
0 Successful completion.
>0 An error occurred.
Extended Description
None.
Future Directions
None.
Input Files
None.
Name
uustat — uucp status enquiry and job control
Operands
None.
Options
The uustat utility shall conform to the Base Definitions volume of POSIX.1‐2017, Section12.2, UtilitySyntaxGuidelines.
The following options shall be supported:
-q Write the jobs queued for each machine.
-kjobid Kill the uucp request whose job identification is jobid. The application shall ensure that the
killed uucp request belongs to the person invoking uustat unless that user has appropriate
privileges.
-rjobid Rejuvenate jobid. The files associated with jobid are touched so that their modification time
is set to the current time. This prevents the cleanup program from deleting the job until the
jobs modification time reaches the limit imposed by the program.
-ssystem Write the status of all uucp requests for remote system system.
-uuser Write the status of all uucp requests issued by user.
Output Files
None.
Prolog

may differ (consult the corresponding Linux manual page for details of Linux behavior), or the interface
may not be implemented on Linux.
Rationale
None.

The standard error shall be used only for diagnostic messages.

Not used.
Stdout
The standard output shall consist of information about each job selected, in an unspecified format. The
information shall include at least the job ID, the user ID or name, and the remote system name.
