[comp.unix.xenix.sco] odd uucp file transfer behavior

barton@holston.UUCP (Barton A. Fisk) (01/29/91)

I have two systems 1. Xenix 2.2.1 and 2. Unix v/386 3.2v2 connected
via direct wire. 
 
Each evening a compressed backup gets uucp'd from sys 2 -> sys 1.

The file makes it ok, but I get uucp error's as follows:

amb hasi (1/28-7:08) BAD READ (expected 'H' got FAIL)
amb hasi (1/28-7:08) FAILED (conversation complete)

Again, the file is ok, just annoying errors. 

BTW, the odd thing is that when I run this interactively
(ie non-cronjob) there are *NO* errors.

This is a direct wire running at 9600, only the Unix line
is enabled.

It looks like EOF is ignored for some reason when running
from cron??

Please email any suggestions as to the cause, as I am posting
mainly out of curiosity.
