Description
The uuinstall program is used to manage the content of the control
files used by the UUCP communications system.
It allows users to change the contents of these files without
using a text editor. Users need not know the detailed
format of each of the control files, although they must be
familiar with the function of the various fields within the files.
These details are explained in the System Administration Guide.
The uuinstall program can only be executed by the super
user. By default, it runs interactively and presents the user with a
menu.
If uuinstall finds any of the required uucp
control files missing from the system, it will create them with the
correct access permissions and ownership.
The following commands may be used to operate uuinstall in
non-interactive mode:
-num-
Run uuinstall in interactive mode, taking the user straight
to the numbered menu item, where num is in the range 1 to 7.
On finishing the menu item, uuinstall exits rather than
returning to the top level menu.
-a -S sitename schedule type speed phone expect [ send [ ... ] ]-
Add a new entry to the Systems file.
-a -S line type dialer_line speed-range dialer [ token [ ... ] ]-
Add a new entry to the Devices file.
-c-
Check consistency of UUCP files.
-d Systems n-
Delete item n from the Systems file.
-d Devices n-
Delete item n from the Devices file.
-L line [ -d ] enable|disable-
Enable or disable logins on line line. (If line is
disabled, it can be deleted from /etc/inittab with -d.)
-l Systems [ -v ]-
List the Systems file entries.
-l Devices [ -v ]-
List the Devices file entries.
-l Inittab [ -v ]-
List the /etc/inittab file entries with getty's on them.
-n-
Get name of system.
-N name-
Set name of system.
-t -S sitename-
Test connection with sitename.
-v-
(Optional) verbose flag for listings.
-x-
Convert old UUCP files to new format.
Examples
To produce a verbose listing of the current Systems file entries:
/etc/uuinstall -l Systems -v
To run uuinstall interactively:
/etc/uuinstall
To check the UUCP files for consistency:
/etc/uuinstall -c
