uux Command

The uux command in Linux is used to execute a command on a remote system using the Unix-to-Unix Copy Protocol (UUCP). UUCP is a protocol that was historically used to transfer files and execute commands between Unix systems over dial-up telephone lines. The uux command can be used to execute a command on a remote system, and then return the output of that command to the local system.

Here are some examples of how to use the uux command:

To execute the command “ls -l” on a remote system called “remote”, you can use the command uux remote!ls -l
To execute a command and redirect the output to a file, you can use the > operator, like this: uux remote!ls -l > remote-ls.txt
To execute a command and redirect the output to a file and append to the file, you can use the >> operator, like this: uux remote!ls -l >> remote-ls.txt

It’s important to note that uux requires the uucico daemon to be running on both systems in order to work properly. Also, the uux command is less used these days and there are other file transfer protocols like SSH that provide more security and encryption options.

Example :

$ uux remote!ls -l

This command will execute the command “ls -l” on the remote system “remote” and display the output on the local system.

$ uux remote!ls -l > remote-ls.txt

This command will execute the command “ls -l” on the remote system “remote” and redirect the output to a file called “remote-ls.txt” on the local system.

$ uux remote!ls -l >> remote-ls.txt

This command will execute the command “ls -l” on the remote system “remote” and redirect the output to a file called “remote-ls.txt” on the local system, and append the output to the file if it already exists.
