I just recently converted my system to Honey Danbar UUCP from normal UUCP. For occasional debugging and playing around, I came to rely heavily on the /usr/lib/uucp/uusub command for issue immediate connections to various systems. What command or series of commands could I use under HDB that would provide the same feature ? I've used Uutry and it does about what I want but is accompanied by screens full of debugging information. I would just like to quietly and simply issue a manual "poll" of a system. Any ideas ??

Copy it to your private bin directory and edit it to your hearts content. Or if you use Bourne of Korn shells set up a shell function that has as its innards most of Uutry (if you want to get fancy) or try this one. poll() { rm -f /usr/spool/uucp/.Status/$i /usr/lib/uucp/uucico -r1 -s$1 & } -Mike Wescott -- -Mike Wescott wescott@ncrcae.Columbia.NCR.COM

It doesn't get rid of *absolutely* all of the debugging, but all but just a couple of lines can be got rid of by saying "-x0" in the Uutry command, like: /usr/lib/uucp/Uutry -x0 -r SITE If you use a -x option on the Uutry command line, the value you give overrides the default in the shell script. This can be used to give varying amounts of debugging information, per the documentation of the -x flag to uucico. -- Ron Heiby, heiby@mcdchg.UUCP Moderator: comp.newprod & comp.unix "Intel architectures build character."

Thanks. I'm not familiar with the uusub command, but it is a simple matter to poll another site manually. Just use uucico like this: /usr/lib/uucp/uucico -r1 -sSITENAME where SITENAME is the name of the site you wish to poll. Use the -x9 option to get maximum debugging information if you need it.
