uupoll \- poll a remote \s-1UUCP\s+1 site
is used to force a poll of a remote system. It queues a null job for the
remote system and then invokes
The following options are available:
Queue the null job, but do not invoke
or by a user who wants to hurry a job along. A typical entry in
0 0,8,16 * * * daemon /usr/bin/uupoll ihnp4
0 4,12,20 * * * daemon /usr/bin/uupoll ucbvax
at midnight, 0800, and 1600, and
If the local machine is already running
hour and has a limited number of outgoing modems, a more elegant approach
0 0,8,16 * * * daemon /usr/bin/uupoll -n ihnp4
0 4,12,20 * * * daemon /usr/bin/uupoll -n ucbvax
5 * * * * daemon /usr/lib/uucp/uucico -r1
This will queue null jobs for the remote sites at the top of hour; they
when it runs five minutes later.
