Is there someone out there with a shell script, or awk, or whatever,
to remove queued uucp requests.
The need came up after a large number of large files clogged our
Xatlantic uucp connection. We only knew their ( approx. ) subject headings
and the sender/receiver user names.
Looking through all D.whatever/C./X...... files felt silly, after all
this is a computer, of sorts, so it should do jobs like this...
Before starting to write something, please does anyone out there
have anything at all along these lines?
We're running the standard 4.2BSD uucp, but I'm willing to mod/extend
something for any other version.
Will honey danber include some facility like this, or is it already
there in uucp?

honey danber comes with a utility called uucleanup that runs through the spool directories processing aging work files. a warning is sent to the originator for work that's between 1 and 2 days old; files more than a week old are removed (and another message is sent). the rules are actually a little more complicated, but this gives the general flavor: keep the spool directory clean. peter honeyman
