NAME
	  /usr/spool/uucp/.Status  - Contains information about	the
	  status of the	uucp program contacts with remote systems

     SYNOPSIS
	  /usr/spool/uucp/.Status

     DESCRIPTION
	  The /usr/spool/uucp/.Status directory	contains information
	  about	the status of the uucp program contacts	with remote
	  systems.

	  For each remote system contacted, the	uucp program creates a
	  file in the .Status directory	called SystemName, where the
	  SystemName file is named for the remote system being con-
	  tacted.  In the .Status/SystemName file, the uucp program
	  stores the following information:

	  -    Time of the last	call in	seconds.

	  -    Status of the last call.

	  -    Number of retries.

	  -    Retry time, in seconds, of the next call.

	  The times given in the .Status/SystemName file are expressed
	  as seconds elapsed since midnight of January 1, 1970 (the
	  output of a time system call).  Thus,	the retry time is in
	  the form of the number of seconds that must have expired
	  since	midnight of January 1, 1970 before the system can
	  retry.  To make this entry in	the .Status/SystemName file,
	  uucp performs	a time system call, adds 600 seconds, and
	  places the resulting number of seconds in the	file.  If the
	  last call was	unsuccessful, the uucico daemon	will wait
	  until	the time specified by the retry	time before attempting
	  to contact the system	again.	The retry time in the
	  .Status/SystemName file can be overridden using the -r flag
	  of the uutry or Uutry	command.
