UUPOLL(8) UUPOLL(8) NAME uupoll - run uucico to poll systems specified in /etc/uucp/Poll SYNOPSIS uupoll DESCRIPTION uupoll should be run out of cron once an hour. It parses the file /etc/uucp/Poll and calls uucico to initiate a uucp transfer with any systems listed in /etc/uucp/Poll that have call times matching the current hour. The format of /etc/uucp/Poll is: system_name<TAB>HH HH HH HH HH The first white space after the system_name must be a tab. The tab is followed by a white space separated list of hours. Each hour must be 2 digits and the time is expected to be in 24 hour format. To have a poll happen during the 8 A.M. hour the needed entry would be 08, while for an 8 P.M. poll the entry would be 20. BUGS There are no known bugs at the time of this writing.
