uuq Command

Purpose

Displays the BNU job queue and deletes specified jobs from the queue.

Syntax

uuq [ -l | -h ] [ -sSystemName ] [ -uUser ] [ -dJobNumber ] [ -rSpoolDir ] [ -bBaudRate ]

Note

Only a user with root authority can use the -d flag.

Description

The uuq command is used to list or delete job entries in the Basic Networking Utilities (BNU) job queue.

When listing jobs, the uuq command uses a format similar to that used by the ls command. In the default format, the uuq command lists only the job numbers of the jobs waiting in the queue, followed by a summary line for each system.

In summary format (uuq -h) only the summary lines are listed. Summary lines give:

System name
Number of jobs for the system
Total number of bytes to send

In the long format (uuq -l), which can be quite slow, the information listed for each job is:

Job number
Number of files to transfer
User who sent the job
Number of bytes to be sent
Type of job requested:

S Sending a file

R Receiving a file

X Executing a command on the remote system
File to be sent or received or the command to be executed

A user with root authority can use the -dJobNumber flag to delete jobs from the queue after running a uuq listing to discover the job numbers.

Flags

-bBaudRate	Uses the baud rate given, instead of the default (1200 baud), to compute the transfer time.
-d JobNumber	Deletes the job designated by the JobNumber variable from the BNU queue. Only someone with root authority can delete jobs from the queue.
-h	Shows only the summary lines for each system.
-l	Lists the output in the long format.
-sSystemName	Lists only jobs for systems whose system names begin with the string specified in the SystemName variable.
-r SpoolDir	Searches for files in the spooling directory designated by the SpoolDir variable, instead of in the default spooling directory.
-uUser	Lists only jobs queued by users whose login names begin with the string specified in the User variable.

Examples

To get a long listing of all jobs spooled for system hera, type:
uuq -l -shera
To get a summary listing for all systems, type:
uuq -h
To delete a job for user nita from the queue, first use the uuq command to find the number of the job you want to delete, as follows:
uuq -l -unita
This produces a list of jobs spooled for user nita. Find the job you wish to remove. If its job number is 13451, for example, the following command will delete the job:
uuq -d13451

Note

You must have root authority or be logged in as uucp to delete jobs from the queue.
