+.Sh NAME
+.Nm uupoll
+.Nd poll a remote
+.Tn UUCP
+site
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Nm uupoll
+.Op Fl g Ns Ar grade
+.Op Fl n
+.Ar system
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+.Nm Uupoll
+is used to force a poll of a remote system. It queues a null job for the
+remote system and then invokes
+.Xr uucico 8 .
+.Pp
+The following options are available:
+.Bl -tag -width Fl
+.It Fl g Ns Ar grade
+Only send jobs of grade
+.Ar grade
+or higher on this call.
+.It Fl n
+Queue the null job, but do not invoke
+.Xr uucico .
+.El
+.Pp
+.Nm Uupoll
+is usually run by
+.Xr cron 5
+or by a user who wants to hurry a job along. A typical entry in
+.Em crontab
+could be:
+.Bd -literal
+0    0,8,16     *    *    *    daemon    /usr/bin/uupoll ihnp4
+0    4,12,20    *    *    *    daemon    /usr/bin/uupoll ucbvax
+.Ed
+.Pp
+This will poll
+.Em ihnp4
+at midnight, 0800, and 1600, and
+.Em ucbvax
+at 0400, noon, and 2000.
+.Pp
+If the local machine is already running
+.Xr uucico
+every
+hour and has a limited number of outgoing modems, a more elegant approach
+might be:
+.Bd -literal
+0    0,8,16    *    *    *    daemon    /usr/bin/uupoll -n ihnp4
+0    4,12,20   *    *    *    daemon    /usr/bin/uupoll -n ucbvax
+5        *     *    *    *    daemon    /usr/lib/uucp/uucico -r1
+.Ed
+.Pp
+This will queue null jobs for the remote sites at the top of hour; they
+will be processed by
+.Xr uucico
+when it runs five minutes later.
