When polling many sites at once it is possible for uuxqt to run out of processes (exceed the max # processes/uid), and not execute the command. The fix is to put a while loop of the form: while ( (pid = fork()) < 0) sleep(30); in shio.c and xqt.c (and where ever else fork() is used).

it would seem that your poll script is something like for i in $POLL; do /usr/lib/uucp/uucico -r1 -s$i& done (else how do you run out of processes?) might i suggest the following: for i in $POLL; do touch $SPOOL/C.${i}z0000 done /usr/lib/uucp/uucico -r1 peter honeyman
