    UUPOLL(8)	    UNIX Programmer's Manual		UUPOLL(8)

    NAME
         uupoll - poll a remote UUCP site

    SYNOPSIS
         uupoll [ -ggrade ] [ -n ] system

    DESCRIPTION
         Uupoll is used to force a poll of a remote system. It queues
         a null job for the remote system and then invokes uucico(8).

         The following options are available:

         -ggrade Only send jobs of grade grade or higher on this
    	     call.

         -n      Queue the null job, but do not invoke uucico.

         Uupoll is usually run by cron(5) or by a user who wants to
         hurry a job along. A typical entry in crontab could be:

    	  0    0,8,16	 *    *    *	/usr/bin/uupoll ihnp4
    	  0    4,12,20	 *    *    *	/usr/bin/uupoll ucbvax
         This will poll ihnp4 at midnight, 0800, and 1600, and ucbvax
         at 0400, noon, and 2000.

         If the local machine is already running uucico every hour
         and has a limited number of outgoing modems, a more elegant
         approach might be:

    	  0    0,8,16	 *    *    *	/usr/bin/uupoll -n ihnp4
    	  0    4,12,20	 *    *    *	/usr/bin/uupoll -n ucbvax
    	  5    *	 *    *    *	/usr/sbin/uucico -r1
         This will queue null jobs for the remote sites at the top of
         hour; they will be processed by uucico when it runs five
         minutes later.
