Help with UUCP

[Wallis]

The 'retry time' mechanism is used by basic
networking when a uucp attempt to another machine
has failed. This prevents a bad connection from
eating up too many resources by limiting how often
the machine can be called. The mechanism can be
overridden using the `Uutry` command, which
basically invokes uucico in master mode, redirects its
output to the file /tmp/<system>, and then does a tail -f
on /tmp/<system>. This allows you to monitor the
session and break out of the tail if you wish
before uucico is complete. The command
'/usr/lib/uucp/Uutry -r <system>', when run from
root, will override the retry time. Hope this
helps you.
