uucico Options
--------------

   The following options may be given to `uucico'.

`-r1'
`--master'
     Start in master mode: call out to a remote system.  Implied by
     `-s', `--system', or `-S'.  If no system is specified,
     sequentially call every system for which work is waiting to be
     done.

`-r0'
`--slave'
     Start in slave mode.  This is the default.

`-s system'
`--system system'
     Call the specified system.

`-S system'
     Call the specified system, ignoring any required wait.  This is
     equivalent to `-s system -f'.

`-f'
`--force'
     Ignore any required wait for any systems to be called.

`-l'
`--prompt'
     Prompt for login name and password using `login: ' and
     `Password:'.  This allows `uucico' to be easily run from `inetd'.
     The login name and password are checked against the UUCP password
     file, which need not be `/etc/passwd'.  The `--login' option may
     be used to force a login name, in which cause `uucico' will only
     prompt for a password.

`-p port'
`--port port'
     Specify a port to call out on or to listen to.

`-e'
`--loop'
     Enter an endless loop of login/password prompts and slave mode
     daemon execution.  The program will not stop by itself; you must
     use `kill' to shut it down.

`-w'
`--wait'
     After calling out (to a particular system when `-s', `--system',
     or `-S' is specifed, or to all systems which have work when just
     `-r1' or `--master' is specifed), begin an endless loop as with
     `--loop'.

`-q'
`--nouuxqt'
     Do not start the `uuxqt' daemon when finished.

`-c'
`--quiet'
     If no calls are permitted at this time, then don't make the call,
     but also do not put an error message in the log file and do not
     update the system status (as reported by `uustat').  This can be
     convenient for automated polling scripts, which may want to simply
     attempt to call every system rather than worry about which
     particular systems may be called at the moment.  This option also
     suppresses the log message indicating that there is no work to be
     done.

`-C'
`--ifwork'
     Only call the system named by `-s', `--system', or `-S' if there
     is work for that system.

`-D'
`--nodetach'
     Do not detach from the controlling terminal.  Normally `uucico'
     detaches from the terminal before each call out to another system
     and before invoking `uuxqt'.  This option prevents this.

`-u name'
`--login name'
     Set the login name to use instead of that of the invoking user.
     This option may only be used by the UUCP administrator or the
     superuser.  If used with `--prompt', this will cause `uucico' to
     prompt only for the password, not the login name.

`-z'
`--try-next'
     If a call fails after the remote system is reached, try the next
     alternate rather than simply exiting.

`-i type'
`--stdin type'
     Set the type of port to use when using standard input.  The only
     supported port type is TLI, and this is only available on machines
     which support the TLI networking interface.  Specifying `-i TLI'
     causes `uucico' to use TLI calls to perform I/O.

`-X type'
     Same as the standard option `-x type'.  Provided for historical
     compatibility.

`-x type'
`--debug type'
`-I file'
`--config file'
`-v'
`--version'
`--help'
     See Standard Options.
