UUPOLL(8C)							    UUPOLL(8C)

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(8C).

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