The UUCP message return job should be scheduled by cron.
To submit commands to the cron daemon, first become user
pmdf:
# su pmdfTo edit the
crontab entries, issue the command
$ crontab -eand use the editor thus invoked to add an entry such as the following:
30 1 * * * /pmdf/bin/return_uucp </pmdf/log/return_uucp.log-`/pmdf/bin/unique_id` 2>&1The example entry shown above would be used to run the UUCP return job at 1:30 am and create the log file
/pmdf/log/return_uucp.log-uniqueid, where
uniqueid will be a unique string disambiguifying
the file name, allowing for multiple versions of the file. The first
value specifies the minutes after the hour, and the second value
specifies the hour --- you may wish to specify other values according
to the needs of your site. You should use the return_uucp
shell script as shown above, which itself calls the program
/pmdf/bin/return_uucp, rather than the UUCP cleanup
command, since return_uucp will honor the
notices channel keyword and understand the MIME format of
the messages.
