FAQ, by Marc SCHAEFER,
UUPoll is a polling server. It supports the following features:
- controls the execution of a UUCICO child as the parent part
- checks for correct hostname and polling-time violation
- controls abortion of UUCICO due to a precalculated restriction time
- operates dependendly on status of last session
- operates dependendly on (specific) pending work
- controls dialup retries due to busy line or other UUCICO failures
- controls abortions due to user interupts
- can be disabled through a job control feature for crontab interventions
- can abort a startup due to or break an already running UUCICO process
- can give information about polling times and host status
- can setup your modem before start of a polling session
- can spawn UUCICO with additional options
- can spawn own user command after a (successful) session
- full UUCP logfile support similar to UUCICO
- can run under full runtime debugging with variable debug level
