           _U_u_x will gather zero or more files from various systems,
           execute a command on a specified system and then send
           standard output to a file on a specified system.  Note that,
           for security reasons, many installations will limit the list
           of commands executable on behalf of an incoming request from
           _u_u_x.  Many sites will permit little more than the receipt of
           mail (see _m_a_i_l(1)) via _u_u_x.

           The _c_o_m_m_a_n_d-_s_t_r_i_n_g is made up of one or more arguments that
           look like a Shell command line, except that the command and
           file names may be prefixed by _s_y_s_t_e_m-_n_a_m_e!!!!.  A null _s_y_s_t_e_m-
           _n_a_m_e is interpreted as the local system.

           File names may be one of

                (1) a full path name;

                (2) a path name preceded by ~~~~_x_x_x where _x_x_x is a login
                name on the specified system and is replaced by that
                user's login directory;

                (3) anything else is prefixed by the current directory.

           As an example, the command

                uux "!diff usg!/usr/dan/f1 pwba!/a4/dan/f1 > !f1.diff"

           will get the ffff1111 files from the ``usg'' and ``pwba''
           machines, execute a _d_i_f_f command and put the results in
           ffff1111....ddddiiiiffffffff in the local directory.

           Any special shell characters such as <<<<>>>>;;;;|||| should be quoted
           either by quoting the entire _c_o_m_m_a_n_d-_s_t_r_i_n_g, or quoting the
           special characters as individual arguments.

           _U_u_x will attempt to get all files to the execution system.
           For files which are output files, the file name must be
           escaped using parentheses.  For example, the command

                uux a!uucp b!/usr/file \(c!/usr/file\)

           will send a _u_u_c_p command to system ``a'' to get ////uuuussssrrrr////ffffiiiilllleeee
           from system ``b'' and send it to system ``c''.

           _U_u_x will notify you if the requested command on the remote

           from the remote machine.

           The following _o_p_t_i_o_n_s are interpreted by _u_u_x:

           ----    The standard input to _u_u_x is made the standard input to
                the _c_o_m_m_a_n_d-_s_t_r_i_n_g.

           ----nnnn   Send no notification to user.

           ----mmmm_f_i_l_e
                Report status of the transfer in _f_i_l_e. If _f_i_l_e is
                omitted, send mail to the requester when the copy is
                completed.

           _U_u_x returns an ASCII string on the standard output which is
           the job number.  This job number can be used by _u_u_s_t_a_t to
           obtain the status or terminate a job.

           The use of the shell metacharacter **** will probably not do
           what you want it to do.  The shell tokens <<<<<<<< and >>>>>>>> are not
           implemented.

           Only the first command of a shell pipeline may have a
           _s_y_s_t_e_m-_n_a_m_e.  All other commadns are executed on the system
           of the first command.
