This directory holds status files for each remote system. The name of
the status file is the name of the system which it describes. Each
status file describes the last conversation with the system. Running
uustat --status basically just formats and prints the contents of
the status files (see section 2.4.3 uustat Examples).
Each status file has a single text line with six fields.
- code
- A code indicating the status of the last conversation. The following
values are defined, though not all are actually used.
- `0'
- Conversation completed normally.
- `1'
uucico was unable to open the port.
- `2'
- The last call to the system failed while dailing.
- `3'
- The last call to the system failed while logging in.
- `4'
- The last call to the system failed during the initial UUCP protocol
handshake (see section 6.5.1 The Initial Handshake).
- `5'
- The last call to the system failed after the initial handshake.
- `6'
uucico is currently talking to the system.
- `7'
- The last call to the system failed because it was the wrong time to call
(this is not used if calling the system is never permitted).
- retries
- The number of retries since the last successful call.
- time of last call
- The time of the last call, in seconds since the epoch (as returned by
the
time system call).
- wait
- If the last call failed, this is the number of seconds since the last
call before
uucico may attempt another call. This is set based
on the retry time; see 5.7.3.1 When to Call. The `-f' or `-S'
options to uucico direct it to ignore this wait time; see
2.10 Invoking uucico.
- description
- A text description of the status, corresponding to the code in the first
field. This may contain spaces.
- system name
- The name of the remote system.
