NAME

uulocks - print status summary of UUCP locks

SYNOPSIS

uulocks [ -h ] [ -p [ -a psargs ] ]

DESCRIPTION

Uulocks searches the various directories which can contain UUCP-style ``lock'' files. These files are used by UUCP to prevent multiple connections to the same remote neighbor, and also to control access to the outgoing modems. On some systems, tip(1), kermit(1), and even getty(8) use these same locks, thus permitting the outbound modems to be shared between all modem applications.

If the -h option is given, no header will be printed for the report. This is useful if you intend to post-process the output with perl(1) or awk(1).

If the -p option is given, then a ps(1) command will be executed for each process seen to have an active lock. This can be followed by the -a option, which specifies the output format to be given to ps(1). The default for newer systems is -o user,tt,ucomm,state,start, and for older systems it is simply u.
