UUCICO(8c,C) AIX Commands Reference UUCICO(8c,C) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- uucico PURPOSE File transport program for the BNU facility. SYNTAX +------------------+ +------------------+ +------------------+ uucico ---| |---| |---| |--| +- -r role-number -+ +- -x debug-level -+ +- -s system-name -+ DESCRIPTION The uucico program transports Basic Networking Utilities (BNU) requests. The BNU commands uucp and uux both queue jobs that are transferred to the specified computer by uucico after the required data, work, or execute files have been created. The uucico program is normally started by the scheduler, uusched, but it can be started manually for debugging. The BNU commands uutry, Uutry, Nutry, and uukick also start uucico with debugging turned on. The uucico program is a BNU daemon (a program executed internally to handle file transfers and command executions). It selects the device used for the communications link, establishes the connection to the remote computer, and performs the required login sequence. The program also performs permission checks, transfers data (D.*) and command (C.*) files, logs results, and notifies specified users of transfer requests. The uucio program is also the shell for uucp call in. FLAGS -r role_number The role numbers are the number 1 for the server mode and the number 0 for client mode. The default is 0. If uucico is started manually, this flag should be set to 1. -x debug_level Displays debugging information on the screen of the local terminal. The valid range for debug_level is 0 to 9. The higher the number, the more detailed the final report. This flag is useful in correcting problems with the expect-send sequence in the Systems file.
