For my peace of mind, is there some way to kill all spooled jobs for a given
machine queued for uucp? Let me put that a little more clearly. Suppose
I have a machine foobar, and I have ten jobs queued for uucp to foobar.
Foobar has just been relegated to the scrap heap, so these jobs will never
get sent, or maybe I just discovered an error in the list of files that I
sent to foobar. Anyway, I want to kill all jobs queued for sending to foobar.
I can sit here and type "uustat -k{idnum}" ten times, which seems like an
enormous waste of time (it is - I do it a lot). What I would like to do is
something like "uustat -kfoobar*", which doesn't work (can't find job foobar*-
not killed). I suppose I could do something like "uustat -sfoobar|shellscript"
but then I have to write a shellscript and keep a copy on each machine I work
on just for this. Does anyone know of a way to structure the uustat call so
I can do this generically? (running ATTsysV on a 3B2) (If this seems trivial,
I guess its just because I'm a little bored today :-} )

There's nothing wrong with going into the spool directory and
deleting the files contained there. For HDB this is easy, just do rm
-fr /usr/spool/uucp/foobar, if you are feeling confident. For the
old UUCP, I'm not sure exactly how the files are named, but the
principle is the same: just remove the appropriate files.
