Linux uucico Command
The Linux uucico command is a UUCP file transfer service program.
uucico is used to process file transfers that are queued by uucp or uux. It operates in two modes: active mode and slave mode. In active mode, uucico calls the remote host; in slave mode, uucico accepts calls from the remote host.
Syntax
uucico [-cCDefqvwz][-i<type>][-I<file>][-p<port number>][-][-rl][-s<host>][-S<host>][-u<user>][-x<type>][--help]
