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, do not use this utility for applications that are 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 that the command be run. Entries that are created by uuxqt or by programs that are 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.

Options

If you do not specify an option, uulog displays the debug information for the last conversation that failed.

-s site: Displays information about UUCP events for this site.
