SCO Xenix 80286 version 2.2.1, the "uux" command gives a stack overflow and then bus error and core dump when executed with a command like: # uux "remotesystem!/usr/bin/uucp localsystem!~/filename ~/filename" Anyone know why? Have I used the command incorrectly?

If you have 2.1.3 or something, use the uux from that version. Works just fine with Xenix 2.2.1.

This is not the most useful answer in the entire world. Would someone [ preferably from SCO ] care to explain exactly what is wrong with it? And to answer Jay's original question, [ now that I have a copy of the posting and a manual in front of me ] he is using the command correctly. Although, he doesn't need to execute the remote uucp since his uux is already going to have copied the file from localsystem to remotesystem. For the record, I tried uux 'pigs!/usr/bin/uucp rpp386!/usr/archive/scheme/siod.shar.Z ~/siod.shar.Z' uux 'pigs!/usr/bin/uucp (rpp386!/usr/archive/scheme/siod.shar.Z) \ (~/siod.shar.Z)' uux 'pigs!/usr/bin/uucp rpp386!~/siod.shar.Z ~/siod.shar.Z' all of which worked. Well, none of which worked, but that is a L.cmds kind of thing ;-) -- John F.
