- By default most implementations of UUCP will not permit remote systems
- to execute uux. If you can avoid that problem, then you need to know
- that any arguments with exclamation points need to be parenthesized so
- that they are not interpreted as remote file names. You need
- something like
- uux - $ourneighbor!uux '($non_neighbor_system!$cmd)' < $from_file
-
- The next version (1.04) of Taylor UUCP will support
- uux - $ourneighbor!$non_neighbor_system!$cmd < $from_file
