Cleaning the Spool Directory
============================

   The spool directory may need to be cleaned up periodically.  Under
some circumstances, files may accumulate in various subdirectories,
such as `.Preserve' (see Other Spool Subdirectories.) or `.Corrupt'
(see Execution Subdirectories.).

   Also, if a remote system stops calling in, you may want to arrange
for any queued up mail to be returned to the sender.  This can be done
using the `uustat' command (see Invoking uustat.).

   The `contrib' directory includes a simple `uuclean' script which may
be used as an example of a clean up script.  It can be run daily out of
`crontab'.

   You should periodically trim the UUCP log files, as they will
otherwise grow without limit.  The names of the log files are set in
`policy.h', and may be overridden in the configuration file (
see config File.).  By default they are are `/usr/spool/uucp/Log' and
`/usr/spool/uucp/Stats'.  You may find the `savelog' program in the
`contrib' directory to be of use.  There is a manual page for it in
`contrib' as well.
