uuxqt -- Command

Execute commands requested by a remote system
uuxqt

uuxqt  reads files  from directory  /usr/spool/uucp/sitename,  and executes
them.  It  recognizes the files  to execute (as  opposed to the  files that
simply contain data, such as  mail messages) because they are prefixed with
the string  ``X.''.  uuxqt executes only the programs  for which the remote
system has permission.

uuxqt is invoked by either uucp or uucico. It is not generally considered a
user-callable program.

Command-line Options

uuxqt recognizes the following command-line options:

-c command
     Only execute  command; ignore requests  to execute any  other command.
     For example:

         uuxqt -c rmail

-s system
     Only execute requests originating from system.

-I file
     Read   configuration   information   from   file   instead   of   from
     /usr/lib/uucp/sys.

-x activity
     Log each  activity; activity must be  one following: abnormal, config,
     spooldir, and  execute. An -x option can name  more than one activity,
     with activities  being separated by  commas; and a  uuxqt command-line
     can have more than one -x option.
