✨ uuxqt(8) — UUCP execution daemon ✨

ok bestie, welcome to the uuxqt page from the System Manager's Manual 💅 this one's a little daemon that does the actual doing of the things other people queued up, and honestly? it's lowkey iconic.

🌸 NAME 🌸

uuxqt — the UUCP execution daemon 🫶

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

uuxqt [ options ]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so like. the uuxqt daemon runs the commands that uux(1) asked for — whether they came from the local system or from remote systems. it's the one who actually shows up and does the thing 💪

it gets started automatically by the uucico(8) daemon — unless you handed uucico(8) the -q or --nouuxqt option, in which case nope, it's sitting this one out 🙈

normally there's literally no need for you to run this command yourself, because uucico(8) will just invoke it for you. it's giving "I got it handled." but if you do want greater control over the processing of the work queue? then yeah, you can absolutely run it yourself. main character energy ✨

and here's the fun part: multiple invocations of uuxqt may be run at once 🎉 how many? that's controlled by the max-uuxqts configuration command. so go off, run a whole squad of them.

💖 OPTIONS 💖

the following options may be given to uuxqt, bestie:

  • -c command, --command command — only execute requests for the specified command. for example:
uuxqt --command rmail
  • -s system, --system system — only execute requests originating from the specified system. like, we're being picky about who we listen to 💅
  • -x type, --debug type — turn on particular debugging types. the following types are recognized: abnormal, chat, handshake, uucp-proto, proto, port, config, spooldir, execute, incoming, outgoing. but heads up — only abnormal, config, spooldir and execute are meaningful for uuxqt 👑

multiple types may be given, separated by commas, and the --debug option may appear multiple times. a number may also be given, which will turn on that many types from the foregoing list; for example, --debug 2 is equivalent to --debug abnormal,chat. so convenient fr fr.

the debugging output is sent to the debugging file, which may be printed using uulog -D. 🔍

  • -I file, --config — set configuration file to use. > ok so real talk: this option may not be available, depending upon how uuxqt was compiled. so if it ghosts you, that's why 😭
  • -v, --version — report version information and exit. short and sweet, we love a quick exit 🎀
  • --help — print a help message and exit. your friendly lil assist 🌈
