- 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 contab interventions
- can abort a startup due to or break 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

CHANGES SINCE LAST DISTRIBUTED RELEASE R0.65
R0.66 [920323]
- Fixed a problem in command name which occured when starting
UUPOLL from SKSH.
- Changed the "_" (underscore) in enviroment variables to a
"." (dot) Just for consistence with my other programs.
[920410]
- Added the UUPOLL Job Control feature (was recently
implemented as own shell script) directly to UUPOLL. Now
you can _switch_ the job control directly via UUPOLL.
[920421]
- Fixed a bug in control-c abortion. UUPOLL hangs if it was
breaked and no UUCICO process was running (i.e. if it is
inside a retry delay!).
- Now UUPOLL substracts 30 seconds from the restriction time
if it was calculated to let the tasks time to cleanup on
time bounds. If the restriction time is given explicitly
(via '-t') nothing is adjusted.
[920422]
- Added new -p feature: Now you can say "Poll only if pending
work" directly to UUPOLL instead of doing this by specifing
"-r1" to UUCICO. You can also say "Poll only if more than
or equal to N files are pending for that system".
- Added new option '-c': UUPOLL can check for any running
UUCICO processes at startup and either abort due to this or
break the process (and wait 20s) before going on with the
polling procedure.
[920510] .. [920605]
- Changed the old information feature (-i) to a real one!
Now UUPOLL gives you information about all status and all
restriction times plus a full 72 hour polling time chart!
[920605]
- Fixed a serious bug in tokenize(): The pointer table wasn't
terminated by a NULL pointer which leads to a deadloop when
processing this table until the (non existing) NULL pointer
will be found.
- Now UUPOLL supports multiline host entries in uulib:l.sys.
- Replaced old restriction time calculation by new algorithm
from "host status". Now UUPOLL handles _all_ time intervals
(even those on serious time/day bounds)
R0.67 [920606]
- Fixed a inconsitence in host status output. The "[#]" will
no longer appear in `short host status'.
- Added a remark in the manual about the `-u "-X -Y -Z ..."'
side effect!
- Added new `-n' option: Now a user can be notified if the
session fails due to max number of retries or restriction
timeout.
[920716]
- THIS IS THE LAST OFFICIAL RELEASE FOR OS1.3!!
Because the current UUPOLL doesn't run under OS2.04 because
of a bug in SAS/Lattice fork() functions, I will stop the
OS1.3 support at this point. Do not run this under later
releases of AmigaOS than 1.3!!
R0.68 [920716]
- Extracted the strings from info.c to external files to
give more overview to the source.
[920716] .. [920718]
- Replaced old SAS/Lattice fork() enviroment by an OS2.04
dependend replacement. The only restriction now: the
UUCICO executeable has to stay in the same directory as
UUPOLL (not the current one, but the same!), but this is no
real restriction (except the fact, that UUPOLL no longer can
be made resident).
[920718]
- Enhanced the '-pN' (pending work) option: if N>0 poll only
if more or equal to N pending files, if N=0 poll independend
of any pending files (same as not specifing this option), if
N<0 poll only if less or equal to N pending files.
- Now the modemsetup function uses the commands given at the
fake-hostentry named "default" if no entry for the current
host can be found to setup the modem.
[920802] .. [920803]
- Updated the manual and cleaned up a lot of source.
- Splitted up option '-i0' and '-i1' to '-i' and '-I'.
- Added new option '-P' which acts like the old '-p' but takes
the KBytes found to determine whether there is pending work
or not.
- Fixed some bad bugs which occured at NotifyOnFailure and
SystemCmnd. Updated the internal command line parsing.
- Added OS-Check: Now UUPOLL no longer starts on OS < 37.xx.
