Archive-name: uupoll
[I'm not certain I see the point in this, given "uucico -r1 -ssys". ++bsa]
Uupoll is a utility which allows the user to force the polling of a
remote system. It has one option which allows the user to force the
poll to actually start, rather than waiting for cron's next pass. It
is a Bourne shell-script, and is intended for use in HDB uucp systems.
It is pretty well documented, and can easily be tailored to a specific
system's unique requirements. It follows the general style of other
scripts pertaining to the uucp system, and follows (as much as I can
tell) the same general approach as the stock poll handler for HDB (the
one called uudemon.poll), which has to be started by cron.
#! /bin/sh
# This is a shell archive, meaning:

# 2. Save the resulting text in a file.
# 3. Execute the file with /bin/sh (not csh) to create the files:

: # Usage:
: #
: # This shell must be run by either super-user or uucp.
: # It causes a poll request to be entered (or touched, if
: # one already exists) for the specified system. Even if
: # the file permissions are changed to allow execution by
: # other users, the shell will abort itself.
: # If the shell is started with only a system name, it simply
: # creates an entry which will be handled the next time that
: # uusched is run. To also cause uusched to start up, start
: # it with a '-n' (NOW) option ahead of the system name.
: # For example:
: #
: # Create entry only: Uupoll sysname
: # Start uusched also: Uupoll -n sysname
