BNU maintenance

BNU must be maintained to work correctly on your system.

To maintain BNU:

• Read and remove log files periodically.
• Use the uuq and uustat commands to check the BNU queues to ensure jobs are transferring to remote systems correctly.
• Schedule automatic commands that poll remote systems for jobs, return unsent files to users, and send you periodic messages about BNU status.
• Periodically update the configuration files to reflect changes in your system.

In addition, occasionally check with administrators of remote systems to keep up with changes on their systems that might affect your configuration. For example, if the supervisor of system venus changes your system password, you must put the new password in the /etc/uucp/Systems file (or the appropriate Systems file specified by /etc/uucp/Sysfiles) before your system can log in to system venus.
