|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
.Nm Uupoll
|
|
is used to force a poll of a remote system. It queues a null job for the
|
|
remote system and then invokes
|
|
.Xr uucico 8 .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The following options are available:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width Fl
|
|
.It Fl g Ns Ar grade
|
|
Only send jobs of grade
|
|
.Ar grade
|
|
or higher on this call.
|
|
.It Fl n
|
|
Queue the null job, but do not invoke
|
|
.Xr uucico .
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Nm Uupoll
|
|
is usually run by
|
|
.Xr cron 5
|
|
or by a user who wants to hurry a job along. A typical entry in
|
|
.Em crontab
|
|
could be:
|
|
.Bd -literal
|
|
0 0,8,16 * * * daemon /usr/bin/uupoll ihnp4
|
|
0 4,12,20 * * * daemon /usr/bin/uupoll ucbvax
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
This will poll
|
|
.Em ihnp4
|
|
at midnight, 0800, and 1600, and
|
|
.Em ucbvax
|
|
at 0400, noon, and 2000.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If the local machine is already running
|
|
.Xr uucico
|
|
every
|
|
hour and has a limited number of outgoing modems, a more elegant approach
|
|
might be:
|
|
.Bd -literal
|
|
0 0,8,16 * * * daemon /usr/bin/uupoll -n ihnp4
|
|
0 4,12,20 * * * daemon /usr/bin/uupoll -n ucbvax
|
|
5 * * * * daemon /usr/lib/uucp/uucico -r1
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
This will queue null jobs for the remote sites at the top of hour; they
|
|
will be processed by
|
|
.Xr uucico
|
|
when it runs five minutes later.
