uulog — Display log information about UUCP events
Format
uulog [–s site]
Note: The uulog utility
is fully supported for compatibility with older UNIX systems.
However, because it is no longer supported by POSIX.2 IEEE standard
1003.2-1992, this utility should be avoided for applications intended
to be portable to other UNIX-branded systems.
Description
uulog displays information about UUCP events, such as file transfers and remote command execution. It also displays the most recent debug output to the log. In order to use uulog, you must have permission to read the file /usr/spool/uucp/LOGFILE.
The
format of the display is:
user ID local_site date/time messagetext
where: - user ID
- Login ID of the user who requested the file transfer or requested the command be run. Entries created by uuxqt or by programs spawned by uuxqt have the ID uucp.
- local_site
- Name of the local site.
- date/time
- Date and time of the event in the form (mm/dd-hh:mm).
- messagetext
- Text of the log entry. The message text depends on the event being recorded; most entries are self-explanatory.
