NAME

uutry - Tries to contact remote system with debugging on  

SYNOPSIS

uutry [system]


 

DESCRIPTION

The uutry command is a shell that invokes uucico to call a remote site, system. Debugging is turned on (level 9). The debugging output is put into the file /tmp/system. A tail -f on this file is executed so that the debugging output is printed on the terminal during execution. Typing the Interrupt key sequence gives control back to the terminal while uucico continues to run, putting its output in /tmp/system.

The uutry command overrides any retry period for a remote system and will attempt to establish a connection immediately.

The output file, /tmp/system is overwritten each time uutry is executed to system.
